After a presentation by SGI to our LUG, it was mentioned how some of
their Altix hardware would possibly be a good fit for asterisk as well.
The Altix hardware allows you to add CPUs and memory to the problem as
seperate entities of the cluster. Also the P-bricks may allow some
people the ability to use more than 2 quads at once. 

I would love to see SGI and/or IBM jumping in to see how easy it is to
kit up a really nice telecom system on their hardware.
