What was won Prinvil, Oregon? H4> Facebook began construction of its data center in 2009 in the city, and it lasted until 2011. In 2012 started the creation of the second stage of this complex, which has led to the emergence today of the data center with an area of ​​just over 30,000 sqm



May become interesting statistics on the project in Prinvile. Here you can see the basic principle of Facebook engagement of human resources in the construction and operation of data centers. The principle is to ensure that at the stage of creating a data warehouse is engaged a huge amount of manpower, while directly in the operation of the site drastically reduced the number of employees.

Report at the same time shows that even after the completion of the main data center construction costs, local revenues counties were not stopped.

At a recent conference held there under the direction of the development company Node Pole DC Many say that the decision to Facebook to stay near the city data center - a high-tech, absolutely harmless to the fragile nature of the northern complex - literally helped revive the city. In urban boundaries began to place their various IT companies representative. In turn, the increased business activity is beginning to encourage the opening of new hotels and restaurants. The long-term decline in depressive region was replaced by economic growth.

The domino effect h4> Most entrepreneurs - Heads of territorial entities - are acutely aware of the benefits that can bring the mere mention of the names of their towns and villages in the same context with the leader of the IT industry. This will attract more and more companies. The decision by Facebook to host data center for Luleå already reflected the rapid development of local businesses and, as a result, increase the welfare of the city.

Can long to write about what the practical effect of the creation of cutting-edge engineering contributes complexes for those people who got their fates decreed in his neighborhood. If you sell soda at a local business park for rent or a house for rent, the effect will be great for you, because international business already pays you directly.
