Google and China don’t exactly have the best relationship right now…

They can put the entire operation on a ship to China when American freedoms collapse.

@jordykid8 Google is much much more than a website bud…they have GMAIL, Google Docs, Google checkout accounts, credit card numbers, search engine database, YouTube accounts, and some other information that Google houses.

@Abd3ssamad Google it.

@mastamase ease of set up and containment or lock-up. They are easy to move as well. I made these into living units for a few years and think it will become more popular everywhere.

@alphaman1101 Google Servers must run effieicently but above all security is always the most important thing. If you take a closer look at the plan it does not show security analysis as it is a completely different plan.
Google houses its 45,000 servers security to prevent espionage & sabotage from Terrorists to magnified optical professional waves to interupt Google Servers and theft of hundreds of millions of dollars including identity storage which is located within Google Servers.
