"Treat your data center as a single machine." This idea has been getting more and more traction over the last years. Beside a couple of other projects, there's Apache Mesos which is providing a solution to easily create this one big single pool of your resources. There are companies which are running it on 10,000s of machines, but for an architecture that relies on easy scalability and good resilience, it completely makes sense to run it on a small cluster as well. A framework that runs upon Mesos is the scheduler Aurora, which takes care about how many instances of a job should run on which machines, and reschedules running jobs if machines in your cluster die.
