| I guess this is called grid computing. Check it out, I may be wrong.

| Hi
You may want consider splitting out the web and mysql so that the load is spread around.
Thanks

| You can distribute ram across many servers with a program called memcached (facebook uses it, among others).
Distributing load in general is probably a better bet, utilizing a simple load balancer LVS with keepalived. This will distribute load (CPU and RAM alike) amongst your server resources.
Its not the easiest to setup , however the rewards are an ability to grow your server resources as your site grows.

| This sounds like a very custom environment -- without knowing more facts its kind of hard to recommend anything.
Perhaps as the simplest solution, there may be video conversion software that is distributed in nature (i know video rendering software exists that can be distributed throughout a network) to do this work for you.
For instance, you have a job server, and it receives a job request from a website, the job server then distributes the rendering/conversion of the video amongst X number of servers.
I've seen software like this in animation studios, however they are very expensive to purchase
