Nah, Cork wouldn't be a good place for something like this, other than the fact that a good amount of submarine cable lands there. But then by that, Wexford would be even better.
The big reason for putting stuff on the west coast is wind and cooling.
Doesn't hurt that Athenry is close enough to Galway City, and that makes it a great place to live. Frankly, if I was a network engineer, I'd totally be down for moving to Galway.
- plug 12y agoGalway is a great spot alright, although I have to admit I do prefer living in Cork ;) I don't know anything substantial about data centres so I wasn't basing my assumptions on their real-world requirements. That said however, isn't Athenry a bit inland itself? You'd imagine far west Galway would be better again, with the added potential - I assume - to create infrastructure their own offshore wind energy.
