How is it that we've gotten by without them for the past 20 years but suddenly they are a REQUIREMENT.
The first ones I was involved with was at the end of 2009. They would build 2 identical facilities to store the same data. The amount of space to store all of the electronic data is multiplying at a huge rate. Takes a lot of energy as well. We are just structural engineers engineers but the need for engineers to design the structure is such that companies who specialize in their design are always trying to buy companies to do nothing but Data Centers.
