"Follow The Sun" infrastructure

One of the interesting models that has arisen is the support model operating on a follow the sun model. So when I finish work at 6pm, New York take over, when New York finishes, Sydney takes over and so on.

Is the next step follow the sun infrastructure? I have my infrastructure come online with my support teams, so between London business hours I use New York servers, in New York business hours I use Sydney servers?

The idea that I use the servers out of core hours when the electricity is cheapest, that they follow the support teams, that the infrastructure is on demand/switchable between time zones. Ultimately with a fast enough connection or even the internet, the user should be location/system independent.

In a virutal infrastructure, I can do this, I can have my virtual sessions move from ESX to ESX following the sun, moving with the business needs, whether the session disks reside in London and the session moves to a New York ESX host, it still allows me to power down the London ESX servers, to have a floating infrastructure.
