In the Oil Rigs, there are people working daily.

Who are going to be the sysadmin or security personal working on this data center?

That thought crossed my mind as well. But since these installations are so close to shore, workers can be ferried there pretty easily. So they avoid all the trouble and cost that oil companies have with people actually living there.

But what about evacuations in case of bad storms? Have they just invented a new type of outage? :-)

If they have foosball and free meals, they must figure no one would ever want to leave.
