I just checked out the article. Google has come up with some interesting ideas in the past, but over-the-water servers seems almost over-the-top. I found this article on cloud computing that made me think that cloud computing is more of a business need than this idea from Google: http://www.itstrategists.com/Cloud-Computing.aspx.
It doesn’t seem like cloud computing will be so easily replaced with Google’s idea to make servers that are portable since the cloud is available now and seems more up-time reliable (storms at sea?). This new technology from Google sounds like it is more applicable to military needs rather than business needs.
