Will Silicon Valley Run Out of Data Center Space?

Posted by samzenpus on 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."

    Tech jobs are leaving California in droves. Long live globalization! I was at San Francisco this morning, there were no clouds, and none expected.

    The comment system neuters your Google-fu (rel="nofollow") and the moderation system will quickly hide your comment from most viewers, so you are pretty much entirely wasting your time here.

    Of course, I would speculate you are wasting your time pulling that shit pretty much anywhere.
