The google guy pointed out that they are API-compatible (thus easy to run side-by-side) and, most import IMHO, he was humble, self-deprecating, and honest.
This here is insane. The claim that something nobody has ever heard of is more reliable than AWS or Google is the worst possible way to promote the product – even if true.
Perhaps I did a bad job of explaining, but it's a fundamentally different architecture, based on the same technology as Bitcoin. It's a platform that's been designed to outlive its parent company. And many blockchains already have outlived the companies and developers that built them. This one just happens to focus on cloud storage.
That would be because the Google employee didn't claim they were "immune" to problems, and actually admitted having their own problems from time to time.
