I always wondered why they promote having 6 datacentres in Roubaix when google maps shows that they're all within 50m. Can't be too much redundancy there.

- pyrale 9y agoIt's their original implantation. The 6 DCs in Roubaix are probably there for more storage capacity, not for redundancy.
- dx034 9y agoThen they could call it one DC. A DC can have more than one building. But by saying you have several data centres you imply redundancy, similar to AZs at AWS. And (at least to Amazon), two AZs are far enough away from each other so that one building could blow up without affecting the other one.
