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."

    There will always be plenty of space slightly north of Silicon valley, in the dialated assholes of San Fraciscan men.

    Cooling isn't much of a concern due to the constant wind whistling by, and the average fairy can fit 2U to 4U of rack space in his asshole.

    You get twice the output from each "rack" because they can compute while they compute as long as you don't let them stray too far from the power source.

    And before you Jews start rubbing your hands together, I already patented the idea. Fuck off.
