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?
That makes sense. But why not just outsource to a company like Digital Realty or Dupont Fabros?
Leasing data center space from a third-party provider can have its own disadvantages, including lack of control over the facility and potential security risks. By building their own data centers, these companies can customize the infrastructure to their exact needs and have greater flexibility to make changes or upgrades.
