But, here is where things get complex
Idle load of a server differs from busy load. 
It takes power to access disk, memory, etc.
Over time, this becomes energy. 
It is not true that running fewer servers is always better. 
I claimed: virtual memory has no analogue in clouds. 
Why? Virtual memory costs more power than it's worth!
