Sooooo true, when you actually use bandwidth (which is now actually stupid cheap) the prices skyrocket. We have had a number of people move back when it ended up costing many times more than their colo or rented server setup. Then there will always be the companies that don't trust it and want to be on their own hardware.

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. > > -- > AF mailing list > AF@af.afmug.com > http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
