Я уже
писал о забавных newsletter от ДримХоста, сегодня получил очередной выпуск, они меня хорошо развеселили:
While everybody else TALKS about "cloud computing", we at DreamHost take
it to its most extremely INSANE limit!
We figured, hey, building a data center is already pretty darn difficult,
why not just go ahead and make it a few orders of magnitude moreso? But
at the same time get all the myriad benefits that only a data center
actually physically IN the clouds can provide:
* 100% earthquake resistance.
* 100% fire resistance.
* 100% Somali pirate resistance.
* 100% solar power reliability (we just float along with the sun).
* 100% wireless networking provided by
aircell.com.
* -40 degrees (F and C) outside => just open a window for cooling.
Don't get me wrong, there's a TON of incredibly difficult logistics that
go into making a floating data center, not the least of which was hunting
and trapping all the Pegasuses we mount our racks to. Pegasai?
They don't call us DREAMHost for nothing.
