Things like this could be housed in a tin shed in a parking lot i.e.
it has the potential to be a _lot_ less expensive infrastructure than
the existing builders/contractors/architects approach.
Because people who need that box don't build their own building, anyhow.
They put it in a colocation facility.
A couple banks are running their main systems in the AIS colo. They
achieve reliability by having 3 or 4 similar systems in other colocation
facilities around the world.
They didn't have to build anything.
