Example of Why Cloud Based Computing is Smart

This Google Data Center YouTube video gives a great example of the attention to detail that Google has paid to data center infrastructure (HVAC, power, etc) along with the advantages of scale they have, provides efficiency levels most organizations could only dream of.

The way Google (along Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, etc) is much more efficient and cost effective than most of us can provide\justify for our own organizations. This is an example of why cloud computing begins to make sense and maybe the realization of Carr's vision of IT just being similar to the power grid - it just works.
