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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nate Burke" <[email protected]> To: "Animal Farm" <[email protected]> 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 [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
