Also the mis-use of obscure vocabulary:
> In other words, it’s a data center—a columbarium for thousands of servers that store data for access and processing from virtually anywhere in the world.
I didn't know the word columbarium so I looked it up [1]. I don't think it's an appropriate word for this context and not good journalism. You could possibly stretch its meaning to describe a data centre in a poem or novel, but that's a different domain to journalism.
