*nods* I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than 100 datacenters (both owned and leased space) for each of the major cloud companies.

They said that due to the explosive growth of the cloud and it mainly being limited to the big players, there would only be about 100 data centers in the US in 10 years. Seems they were off on that projection.

Privacy and criminality in the digital age has generated a demand for datacenters the same as it used to generate a demand for safe deposit boxes that new banks dont even build in On Tue, Feb 1, 2022, 9:38 AM Mike Hammett < af...@ics-il.net > wrote: <blockquote> EdgeConnex hosts a lot of CDN stuff for incumbent operators. I'm not sure what else they do, aside from general colo. The big guys (Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) both build their own facilities from the ground-up as well as lease a variety of things from other datacenter operators, all of the way from empty shell to fully-built. Also, the longer you use cloud, the more you realize it sucks. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP From: "Nate Burke" < n...@blastcomm.com > To: "Animal Farm" < af@af.afmug.com > Sent: Tuesday, February 1, 2022 9:23:51 AM Subject: [AFMUG] OT: Data Center Construction 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. -- 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 </blockquote> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
