First because CPU\RAM\IO resources across each system will be allocated where needed eliminating redundant hardware. Second, the ability for service to continue automatically even when older systems begin failing also means lower operating costs from having to keep comp-engineers available 24x7. I don't know the details of their cost\ROI on implementing this grid, but my guess is it's an increase in both efficiency and profitability over the previous web hosting model.
