Two years ago we had bad experiance with openmosix combined with large
processes (with resident set sizes of about 500 MB) and relatively slow
network. The result was drastic decrease in performance and almost unusable
network. I realized that in order to overcome these problems, we had to
invest money equipment (network), and lots of time in learning and
fine-tuning. We had none of those, so openmosix was temporary uninstalled and
we live without it for two years now.
To the original question: I think that if system and network administration is
not your primary field of interest, and if your budget allows to, the best
idea would be to hire commercial help. This has three advantages:
1. you will support bussines models based on opensource
2. you will learn from proffesionals
3. you will save time for your primary work/ fun/ family
