Sorry but what? If you read the article, its about open sourcing their rack and server designs. You know like Facebook did when they built their own datacenter?

Sorry but what? If you read the article, its about open sourcing their rack and server designs. You know like Facebook did when they built their own datacenter? (and no they din't do it from the threat of Google+'s popularity.)
I think these documentations will be very helpful for startups and companies moving away from the cloud to building their own datacenters.
I remember Blackblaze open sourcing something similar, their pod designs, which were not only immensely helpful for other startups and companies but also for individuals building home server racks.
