One Way To Deal With Server Overheating
Looks like Microsoft has figured out one way to deal with data center overheating: Put the servers in Siberia.
Ok, I am sure there are other good reasons behind this possible move. But it does raise some interesting issues about thinking globally as you build out IT infrastructure. You need to think about where your web traffic is coming from, local skills, costs, access to low-cost power, reliability and a host of other issues. As we move to a more "on-demand" world for Enterprise 2.0 applications, these issues will become increasingly important.
Plus it also becomes a point of pride for local investments and doing business in other countries. Not to mention a possible training ground for developing internal IT talent.
