Cray invests a lot in their interconnect; if you aren't using it, there is little reason to be on a Cray.

Which just emphasizes the point that most applications would be better served by cheaper, more resilient hardware.

All the stranger that they sold their interconnect technology, arguably their "secret sauce" to Intel. Without the interconnect, they are just a bunch of (very high quality) diskless x86 systems.
