factoid

 

After noticing that Ashburn very obviously showed up again (58 visits scouring this blog), I got curious and found a little factoid (knowing that big 3 letter agencies are connected)...

From Communications – note - The World Factbook (cia.gov)

• World

  note 1: three major data centers - which provide colocation, telecommunications, cloud services, and content ecosystems - compete to be called the world's biggest in terms of physical space occupied:
  
  no. 1. - a data farm in Langfang, Hebei Province, China, identified as the Range International Information Group, claims to be the largest with 585,000 sq m (6.3 million sq ft),
  
  no. 2. - a data farm in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, known as the Switch SuperNAP data center, comes in second with over 325,000 sq m (3.5 million sq ft); it intends to expand to over 1.615 million sq m (17.4 million sq ft) by 2020,
  
  no. 3. - a data farm in Ashburn, Virginia, USA, referred to as the DFT Data Center, is a transit point for 70% of the world's Internet traffic; it includes 150,000 sq m (1.6 million sq ft) spread out over six separate buildings
  
  note 2: estimates are that by the end of 2019, 53.9% of the global population (4.1 billion people) were using the Internet

Apparently, they know me well. You should see the extensive analytics I've got on them showing up across my blogs.

Back to gaming.
