Cer...This is a very interesting approach by Google. Certainly, Google is risking millions of dollars by implementing this customizable option for storage and processing. However, as the article briefly mentions, the "cloud war" going on between companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft is immensely competitive. By offering this option, Google is attempting to attract a very large number of new customers in order to offset the loss of revenue which is to the benefit of their customers. If Google fails to attract these new customers, their revenue stream will take a big hit. However, with the cloud storage market being as competitive as it is, I believe Google will soon see the influx of customers it's hoping for.
