Now this is the craziest idea I have heard yet. Servers and salt water. Servers and hard to control environments, such as humidity and heat. Servers and moving storage centers that move with the waves.

Is it me, or is someone at this company smoking crack? I think they need to take the word security out of their name and replace it with the word data insecurity.

Well, the ships will never move anywhere, so it's not very different from a waterfront building. Still sounds a bit silly, land ain't that expensive.
