It would be interesting to see the storage devices. I can't imagine they are spinning hard drives. It almost has to be all SSD drives for weight and throughput. Just guessing. Every pound is tons of money to get to space.
Again I have to assume they have done the cost estimates. Putting the data farms in cooler climates even in remote northern areas or at high altitude would be cheaper than space. I don't see how it can be a viable thing unless it the military or government with unlimited budgets.
The ISS has huge electrical demands to keep the heating and cooling at comfortable levels. The heat from the sun will require shading, and in the shadow of earth, some heat to keep the temps at a normal operating level.
