[Beowulf] Hyper Convergence Infrastructure

[Lechner, David A.]

Hi
I am wondering if anyone on this list has benchmarked the impact of an HCI solution on performance, or how this newest "next big thing" compares to a new Linux/intel commodity solution?
Is there some performance penalty fron the virtualization?
How do price points per FloP compare?
Is the advantage in the Systems administration, and is there a comparable open source solution?

Thanks in advance for  any insights.
Dave Lechner
