Aye yes.. that's true. If however you're refering to datacenters where websites are hosted, then I'd guesstimate at hundreds, if not a thousand or so. Greg Moore Akash 04-22-2003, 01:43 AM again that all depends on what you define a DC as? motorala has their own private "server house" would that count? akashik 04-22-2003, 01:46 AM sure... why not? Greg Moore Toolz 04-22-2003, 02:21 AM You two are not related in any way are you? ...username ...postcount? writing style? always online? akashik 04-22-2003, 02:28 AM naw.. just a coincidence... I'm much better looking than akash ;) Greg Moore sprintserve 04-22-2003, 03:47 AM Unfortunately that's relative :D WorldNetHost 04-22-2003, 08:32 AM Akash would you consider a datacenter as a room that someone has in there house with a data transfer pipe running through connected to servers?

Regards, That's where the borderline is a bit iffy.. I'd probably not - I could have a cable modem and stick my laptop on it and serve pages off of that - hardly a dc. but then what's the "minimum" requirements for one You two are not related in any way are you? ...username ...postcount? writing style? always online? We're the exact opposite - he lives in the southern hemisphere, i live int he northern - he's old,i'm young, he's a liar, i tell the truth, he's ugly, i'm the good lookin one :D |
