Commoditizing servers gets rid of the extra profits Dell/HP/IBM used to make off server sales. They're basically just killing off the server industry for companies at the scale of Microsoft/Facebook.

It's already dead. I'm not sure it was ever alive. Companies like Google started building their own servers long before present scales were ever reached.
