It's one thing to have a bankaccount in the Netherlands, that's easy. A whole data-center? A data-center with all the infrastructure to support it and employees and it still needs to be fast enough that we can't see a slowdown from moving it out of USA? That's a different undertaking.
- aiiane 13y agoGoogle actually has many data centers outside the US (in addition to those it has inside the US).
- smtddr 13y agoYeah I know. To do what the parent comment is asking, there can't be any US data-centers. That's not realistic.
- rachelbythebay 13y agoWhat if I insinuated that certain multinational companies already choose which data centers get certain products due to tax reasons? As in, "product X can go into building #1 but not building #3, and product Y can go into #3 but not #1".
