Committing resources to a single customer is why it is expensive (I think). If we can solve the address coherency problem (which will also solve a lot of the security issues in the homogeneous provider space by isolating the heterogeneous customer spaces) without dedicating racks (except for the customers who need to ensure no L2 cache snooping can occur) then the infrastructure improvement is your cost because you provide it. What has to happen is the cost of fixing the network problem has to improve the performance capacity of the compute services that you sell beyond the cost of the upgrade. You reap the benefit because the infrastructure you provide is measurably better than the competition. As you upgrade the upgraded service is premium until it is once again a homogeneous infrastructure (well as homogeneous as it ever gets). That's why the HW solution needs to offer the same services as the hypervisor does today supporting the same APIs so that the management transition is tractable.
