Actually I suspect it's the other way around, I'm guessing
they're taking the Sun Exadata2 (pre-dates the purchase) and
are working to make that a more general purpose "cloud" system.
They could be using something like ScaleMP to build larger
SMP's over its internal IB fabric.
Their 2.6.32 based kernel might also be interesting, a little
bird tells me they've added some performance patches to it..
cheers!
