@timepilot It was more to do with a Twitter debate today about virtualization vis a vis cloud computing than Google's Green support.

@timepilot True. They are definitely green compared to traditional DCs. Wondering how it matches when virtualization is employed instead.

@timepilot Also, looking for some numbers with Google's approach to cloud and the comparable ones that use virtualization to consolidate.

@timepilot I am not assuming. It was just a question. Wondering how they achieve energy efficiency with their approach.

@timepilot Instead of using virtualization to consolidate, they keep adding more machines as their needs increase. Hence my query.

A question to #clouderati: Does the Google's approach to cloud leads to wastage of power? Anti-Green?
