The customer hardware is IBM xSeries (3950's), with modular, stackable components, much like a stack of switches. It could be broken up into smaller servers and re-used on other projects.
I was assuming in a modern "cloudy" setup, processing power and storage is all kind of fluent. Or if it isn't yet, might be worthwhile to make it so? They could set it up all with virtual machines and stuff?
