@Awesome-O: Good question. The entire reco service is redundant by design; if one machine drops off, the others quickly pick up the slack. Thus we can get away with less robust hardware, which saves a bit in terms of both money and energy consumption.

I noticed you don’t have any redundancy in the PSU or the hard disks. Why not?

I host an HPC podcast that is getting into a lot of big data issues. I think evernote is a great example of some of these issues in a real-world product.
