What's the point of an n-tier system if all the tiers are using the
same technology, from the same vendor?

Leaving aside the cost and scale of the back end solution (use z-iron,
whatever - go crazy) and the SAS/SHARE or server license,  what are
the advantages of using SAS's web stack, compared to a more standard
web stack like LAMP?  Instead of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP),
use Linux, Apache, SAS/SHARE and PHP.  The acronym doesn't work, but
the technology should scale fine.

I just don't get the focus on end-to-end SAS solutions I guess.

(maybe LAPS?  SLAP?)
