Unusual idea for digital forensic lab implementation

Some time ago I managed to have coffee wth friend of mine from IBM, we chat about old times and about new things, trends etc. I've learned that there is a beautiful new a bit scaled down host machine designed to be Linux visualization platform on the old reliable host procesor approach LinuxOne idea.

Wonderfull thing for any data crunching and passing trough system based on Linux. It sounds like perfect consolidation point for forensic lab, with Linux machines running powerful database engines like Oracle, PostgreSQL or any other supported by Linux. Looks like that Oracle is also taking this machine very serious, 



It's almost perfect database server platform for forensic lab, as it was earlier FTK lab which was capable of running on Oracle database. This machine can probably outperform Intel based servers and provide much faster response for frontend forensic tools. Unfortunately latest FTK does not has possibility of using non windows database engine eg running database on Linux, what was theoretically possible with earlier versions.
