What happened in those Google barges, anyway?

>>57598972

They only thing they said is that once it screws up they're fucked. This is absurd.

Datacenters at sea. That's litteraly asking for more piracy...

So moving data centers to the ocean made a great amount of sense to be able to make the actual cable to our customers as short as possible.

that's doesn't explain why, it would be way easier to just put it on shore.

only reason i can think of to dump it in the ocean is to protect it from the locals, which is a valid reason.

Huh.

>>57599305
it would be easier, but not cost effective

coastal land in nearly every country is fucking expensive. putting a service 500m away from your most valued clients (rich people), which happens to be offshore, is a good proposition.

Oh oops, this Chinese containership, crewed by Chinese who can barely speak English, and owned by Chinese supergiant COSCO, just dropped its anchor and accidentally dragged it all over Microsoft's offshore server farm.

Too bad, it totally won't happen again.

Now, let's not dwell on it, the ship needs to unload all those thousands of containers carrying Microsoft's and Apple's and Samsung's new chink stuff.

like every kinda-cool google project that gets breathlessly jerked off over on tech news sites, they had a hard time figuring out how to sell ads through it, so 8 months later it quietly gets shelved

Worst one I've seen in a while.

Are the data centers in international waters? Can they store stuff illegal in some countries there?

It's IP address;

I take it you never needed post-graduate level materials.

>>57599234

at least it's a thinkpad.

You can't connect to it, so who cares?
I'm almost positive Microsoft is capable of maintaining a firewall.
