  Starts with generic information about infrastructure, but ends by talking about "research clouds".

  • What is Google's cloud? It's a network made of hundreds of thousands, or by some estimates 1 million, cheap servers, each not much more powerful than the PCs we have in our homes. It stores staggering amounts of data, including numerous copies of the World Wide Web. This makes search faster, helping ferret out answers to billions of queries in a fraction of a second.

  • To thrive at Google, he told them, they would have to learn to work—and to
    dream—on a vastly larger scale. He described Google's globe-spanning network of
    computers.
  • Folks at Google called it "the cloud."

  Prediction: "Cloud Power," or some variation, becomes one of 2008's tech memes. Amazon's new SimplyDB, Force.com's platform-as-a-service and -- obviously -- Google's quest are helping pave the way for SaaS.

  • "Then one day, you see someone suggest a wild job that needs a few thousand
    machines, and you say: Hey, he gets it.'"
  • programming at the scale of a cloud. Call it Google 101.

  • • In the process Google could become, in a sense, the world's primary computer
    • A move towards clouds signals a fundamental shift in how we handle information.
      At the most basic level, it's the computing equivalent of the evolution in
      electricity a century ago when farms and businesses shut down their own
      generators and bought power instead from efficient industrial utilities. Google
      executives had long envisioned and prepared for this change. Cloud computing,
      with Google's machinery at the very center, fit neatly into the company's grand
      vision, established a decade ago by founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page: "to
      organize the world's information and make it universally accessible."
