Very cool article, thanks for posting this! I bet they will be able to save even more money once they switch to solid state/flash based drives.

It always amazes me how simple solutions are always the last solution people think of. Everyone usually goes for the complex solution and eventually someone comes along and says "Why don't you just do it this way" and it's like a light bulb comes on.

Nice article! Thanks for sharing.

indeed very cool....they must just put these containers in warehouses or something..pretty amazing. They would need to be located nearby pretty fat internet connections, but since they're quite mobile they have good leverage with the ISP's. No so easy to move your traditional data center if the ISP starts ripping you off.

I never realized that they have such a huge amount of servers.....i sitll don't understand how they make money..when i do a search there is no adds or anything.
