Microsoft is to build another large data center, this time in Virginia, despite scaling back plans for an earlier facility in Iowa. Microsoft will spend US$499 million to build a data center in Mecklenburg County in Southern Virginia, the state's Governor Bob McDonnell announced in a statement Friday. About 50 people will work at the facility. |

I have relatives in Virginia and based on what I know of them, I wonder where MS will find the staff to run the datacentre...

Latch,
Do you have any family in Newfoundland? My son's in school in Virginia and I've met some pretty bright folk there. |

Probably remotely from India. The only humans will be the guard at the door, and one to reboot the router when they loose connectivity. Hell, they may even train the Guard to do that. This post was edited by TechLarry on Thursday, September 02, 2010 at 08:28. |
