The military lives in this world and will likely encourage people to continue thinking about it. Think about wearables on a submarine, as an example. Does the captain want to know his crew is fatigued, about to get sick, getting less exercise than they did on their last deployment? Yes. Can you talk to a cloud? No. Does the Admiral in Hawaii want to know those same answers about that boat, and every boat in the Group, eventually? Yes. For this situation, datacenter-aware databases are great. There are other solutions for other problems.
