That looks like an interesting idea.

indeed it would be, but the question that i would have is Theft as well as Corrosion of the computer cases/thermal plates, etc etcc..

i really dont think that a bank of servers could generate enough heat to be effective when a Normal 2 inch thick piece of steel is used. anyway, it would be interesting as hell if they make a working prototype, Sat/Cell Connections are getting Fast/reliable enough to really make this possible.

maybe I am missing the point,...are they trying to save on their electrical and tax bills? being mobile is pretty cool I guess, but I don't see why anyone would need emergency google search deployment ...lol?

something like saving money and the potential to move an entire datacenter (which happens) from one country to another without much actual diss- or re-assembly, i think is the gist

Rats leaving the ship? That sorta thing?

not necessarily. More like supply and demand. The global economy is not google's doing, peenuts.

I understand. And, ouch.
