## Quote — verbatim

> There will come a point where cloud consumption outpaces the supply for the compute... at the rate at which the data was growing, there is no single company in the world that can catch up and scale. So the obvious answer is a grid model... in a peer-to-peer manner where there is compute everywhere.
