I beg to differ. Unless something has changed:

"Each of EVE's 5000+ star systems is loaded as a separate process onto
any one of hundreds of IBM blade servers, with some high-load systems
being given a server all to themselves and many low-load systems being
combined and run on servers together. These "SOL Servers" are tied
into EVE's main database server where changes to the game take place
(where the magic happens)."

I've read this in other places as well.
