The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why are Facebook, Apple, and Google building their own data centers now versus leasing from a company like Digital Realty or Dupont Fabros?
I see. So, how do these companies decide where to build their data centers?
There are various factors that go into this decision, such as access to renewable energy sources, climate conditions, and proximity to network and internet connectivity. Additionally, companies may choose to build data centers in multiple locations to ensure redundancy and minimize downtime.
