Ahh, the cost-sensitivity isn't for out 400+ systems in-house.  The
cost-sensitivity is "what's the customer willing to pay for our
solution".  Adding one of these cards into each system the customer
purchases increases the costs of providing the solution to the
end-customer.  And, given that our customers are purchasing clusters
of systems (usually 8 or more) the cost adds up very quickly.

This seemingly negligible cost can actually end up being a
deal-breaker to a lot of customers... :-\
