We don't need the datacenters at all. That's the difference.

No facilities. No hardware. No bricks, mortar, shipping, mining of metals or rare earths. No replacing of millions of obsolete machines every three years. We tread lighter than any datacenter owner can ever dream of

Hey guys, Mark from Charity Engine here.

If anyone else could use planetary-scale computing (potentially for free, if your project is really cool), then come and talk to us.

The CE grid has over 2 million CPU cores, 600k+ unique IP addresses, can run anything in a Docker container and has integration with Ethereum. Adding Kubernetes and GPU support as we speak.

You can fire it up with 8 clicks, easier than AWS. This is literally a fully-functional worldwide computer.

PS. It's not just ridiculously huge, it is also ridiculously cheap :)
