"A floating data center? A wild party boat? A barge housing the last remaining dinosaur? Google has shed more light on just what it plans to do with a pair of floating barges off either coast of the US.
The advertising giant told The Register that its two vessels, officially known as Google Barges, will in fact be designed to serve as nautical showrooms for the company's latest and greatest products.
Why is this important to a Tax Blog? It's always important where and how data is stored. Google is the group-leader in how our tax information can and may be protected in the future. I personally believe that Google will ultimately place sensitive data servers onto the barges in case of an International disaster.

About Me
- YouTube Channel
- I am a telecommunications engineer by trade, graduated DeVry - Chicago Campus, and worked WNUS-Chicago, KPIX San Francisco, Hewlett Packard and United Airlines - SFO. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lived in Europe, Africa for a short time, Mexico and South America. Early Childhood Education was my second career and my most rewarding. From vocational instructor at the college level to my own private preschool and kindergarten, this is the career that touched my heart. And now, even though I am retired and traveling the world, I still find the need to provide value for young children around the globe. I am the author of Travel the World on Social Security and several short fictional reads in the Kindle Store. My favorite Kindle eBooks are the series of educational books for kids ages 3 to 9 years of age. I have included each of the topics necessary for a young child to do well in Kindergarten. My eBooks are best viewed on a large-screen TV. The pages come to life, and children enjoy the enormous size of viewing their eBook on the big screen.
