Other ideas to consider

• Confirm limiting factor by using CISER's service to help tune where to invest (cores, RAM, hard drives space).
• Cut down on hard drive space by using file server space, in certain situations.
• Merge your investment into an existing cluster. Shared resources cost much less than standing up your own, small cluster.
