A couple years ago Vlad Miloushev and I started talking about the fact that the future of IT was being decided not in Enterprise IT, as it had been for decades, but on the Internet. To be honest, most folks didn’t get it, especially vendors. Enterprises spent the most money, and that earns you a lot of attention.

Last week while clicking through links on blog posts, though, I ran across a post from Robin Harris that’ a few months old, on Google’s rules for building data centers. The quote is his, and I couldn’t have said it better. It’s well worth a read.
