Next step for your datacenter

<sorry deze is even in het engels>

We have stepped from our traditional, clean, raised floor datacenter to datacenters in tents, datacenters in containers, datacenters on ships, out at sea. Now its time for the next step; put your datacenter in space.

According to Virgin Galactic’s  Will Whitehorn this will be the next available step.

Quote from the video:

If we could take all the ground infrastructure of IT and put server farms in space instead, solar powered, we take out one of the biggest causes now of CO2 going in to the atmosphere.

The YouTube video is part of the recently aired Discovery Channel series ‘NextWorld’

Virgin will arrange the transport to space… so what will a datacenter in space actually look like ?
