I would point out - however - that I think the landscape is changing in terms of what business's will demand in software. Now that HPC is available in the Cloud - small and medium sized businesses can make use of it without having to overcome the hurdle of buying and maintaining their own machine.

yeah, but I think current hardware will meet their requirements. And if it doesn't, the cloud providers will just throw CPUs at the problem.

I dont work on big data stuff but I have a friend who does. He says most of the use cases businesses want to do arent really big data, they are just BI++, and that big data is overkill for most everything they are looking at. Maybe that changes in 5 years. I dunno.
