Why are Facebook, Apple, and Google building their own data centers now versus leasing from a company like Digital Realty or Dupont Fabros?
That's interesting. Are there any other benefits to building their own data centers?
Yes, by owning and operating their own data centers, these companies can also potentially save on costs in the long run, as they don't have to pay rental fees to third-party providers. Additionally, they can maintain and upgrade their infrastructure on their own schedule, rather than relying on a third-party provider to do so.
