Nicholas Carr: The coming of the megacomputer
Yet another series of factoids from Mr. Carr that demonstrates the enormity of the shift towards cloud computing. Some highlights:
- “What we’re seeing is the first stage of a rapid centralization of data-processing power – on a scale unimaginable before.”
- “The consolidation of server sales into the hands of just a few companies also portends a radical reshaping of the server industry…”
- “…the cloud giants are gobbling up more than a million and a half servers annually.”
