If you think about it. Data-centers in the way they are built and ran are Secure, redundant and very pricey. Most Data-centers rent out space for many companies. What happens if something happened to the data center? (fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane or other disaster). The companies who are paying good money for the data centers service would be out of service and loosing money. If you sold portable data centers to companies they would buy what they need and have it shipped to their locations. They keep it secure. Their IT Staff keep it running and it reduces the risk of many companies loosing money due to downtime.
I don't think these portable data-centers are aimed to be truly portable. I think they are meant to be portable if something should go awry. For example Company A buys a portable data center. they have it installed in their home office outside of New York. Say Something happens to the building where the Portable data-center is being ran. The company could quickly move their servers and racks to another location.
The schools should spend more time on academics rather than forcing its students to buy software. The schools need to spend money on good teachers, better curriculum's and spend more effort properly teaching our students.
I say people should use what they own. If you have works, word, wordpad open office or what ever software suits your fancy use it. I found out that it is just easier to save in the rich text format and know that it will open in any word processing program.
