Zynga: We Add 1,000 Servers Each Week

[citation][nom]mavroxur[/nom]1000 Servers a week? Anyone heard of virtualization? I somehow don't see them adding 1,000 high end servers a week in reality. Either it's a bunch of low-end cheapies, or the numbers have been inflated a little bit. Farmville and the like aren't exactly supercomputing applications.[/citation]

my guess is they get 100 servers and virtualize 10 servers on each one but who knows. that makes sense to me.

Well, I'll commend them for creating jobs, but their games are comparable to trash.
