IBM probably could build them, whether we could sell them at price Google
could afford is another issue...
Does anyone know how many of what class of servers are being used? Also,

the clusters may lend themselves to virtualization more than others,
yielding variable leverage for different platforms.

I doubt IBM could build enough zSeries boxes in a decade to even match
the existing infrastructure 8)
