Tons of Colocation available nearly everywhere in the US, and in the KCMO area, there are even a few dark datacenters available for sale!
cool project none-the-less. Bit jealous actually :P
- gschier 2y agoMore info on the cost comparison between all the options would be interesting
- dban 2y agoWe pulled some cost stuff out of the post in final review because we weren't sure it was interesting ... we'll bring it back for a future post
- justjake 2y agoThe requirements end up being pretty specific, based on workloads/power draw/supply chain So, while we could have bought something off the shelf, that would have been suboptimal from a specs perspective. Plus then we'd have to source supply chain etc. By owning not just the servers but the whole supply chain, we have redundancy at every layer, from the machine, to the parts on site (for failures), to the supply chain (refilling those spare parts/expanding capacity/etc)
- CMCDragonkai 2y agoCan you share a list of dark datacenters that are for sale. They sound interesting as a business.
- idlewords 2y agoThey're not building new, though—the post is about renting a cage in a datacenter.
