I may just be spouting nonsense, but I've heard a few separate people mention to me that Iceland is an increasingly attractive place for hosting, as they're in the Schengen area (making it easy to get to) but *not* in the European Union (so not subject to EU laws on hosting data), it's got a lot of green energy, and cooling is cheaper because it's cold there.
If this is actually just hyperbole, I'd appreciate if someone told me why that is so, so that I can tell my friends why they're wrong! :-) Dan On 18 October 2013 21:05, Ken Snider <[email protected]> wrote: > The Wikimedia Foundation's Technical Operations team is seeking proposals > on the provisioning of a new data-centre facility. > > After working through the specifics internally, we now have a public RFP > posted[1] and ready for proposals.
