One thing missing from that micro server in the picture -
SD slot for VMWare ESXi.
Nice thing is, you dont even need to waste your time with a
video card unless you need ot run Windows on it. OS X
server will install headless, I've got Linux VMs I have never
had to use the virtual console on, ever.
Now with these micro servers, th detail will come for
packagin them into cass with modular storage IO, ethernet
or fibre SIMs etc. Maybe even have somehting like a 10Gig
ethernet socket, which can be spit into two 1Gb interfaces
like with Cisco Switches, or even better, devices that look
like switches with lots of ethernet ports, but actually have
full servers inside for virtualisation and boot from internal
flash ram, and use external storage via fibre, iSCSI or
eSATA.
