Observation: I never thought about it until now, but...
Data Centers exist at the nexus of technology, real estate, and marketing...
In other words, to succeed as a new data center (should one decide that that is a business they would want to embark on!), one would want to know not only the technology side of things -- but would ideally also have a background in real estate -- and marketing as well...
Yes, I'd love to run a data center business in the future, but I don't have a background in real estate or marketing -- at least, not quite at this point in time! <g>
So the data center will have to wait... for now... <g>
(Other unrelated observation: A bidding system for colocation space would be one heck of an idea for someone to implement...)
