[AFMUG] OT: Data Center Construction

[Nate Burke]

There was an article in the paper this morning talking about how one of 
the Chicago suburbs just approved construction of it's 13th datacenter 
development.  I though the demand for 'private' data center space would 
be going down since it seems that most companies are going with cloud 
services from major providers.  And if a smaller outfit wanted a Rack of 
equipment, they'd host it themselves or find someplace local to do it, 
not some massive DC building miles from their office.  Or do the big 
providers (Azure/google/AWS) actually host things in these private DC's 
instead of building their own space.

The previous under construction development in Elk Grove Village is a 
$1B 4 building DC facility, but I never saw any big name associated with 
it.
