Will Silicon Valley Run Out of Data Center Space?

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday August 12, 2009 @12:24PM from the demand-and-demand dept.

1sockchuck writes "With capital scarce, data center developers are prioritizing projects in northern Virginia, where the Obama stimulus plan and federal shift to cloud computing are likely to boost data center demand from government agencies. This is forcing them to delay or scale back large projects in Santa Clara, setting the stage for a supply/demand imbalance in Silicon Valley, particularly for large space requirements. One potential mitigating factor: some currently occupied data center space could become available through the failure of venture-backed startups."

I wish I could moderate you flamebait twice. The world isn't going to end because a liberal is president.
I guess all the libertarians are using their mod points to jerk you off for this stupid drivel.
