Buffalo as Data Center Mecca
I would not mind moving to Canada if there is an attractive firm. Why not make all data centers automated and move to California?
In western New York, the Buffalo area may be fast becoming a prime location for data centers in America. Having recently hosted the opening of a new Yahoo data center in Lockport, the area is now being considered for a new Verizon data center.
