Nordic Nations Pitch For US Data Centers

judgecorp writes "Nordic nations are all pitching for business from data centre owners, based on their countries' excellent network provision, plentiful electricity from renewable sources, and a climate where servers can be kept cool cheaply, using the ambient air temperature, with no need for chillers. A Swedish delegation is visiting California to lure other players to follow Facebook into Sweden. Meanwhile, Iceland now has a new multi-tenant data centre to join the existing Thor site, and Denmark has a container-park data centre for its financial industry."

Iceland???

I'd be more worried about server crashes due to hot magma than cooling!

My government's IT people are far too incompetent and underfunded to manage to snoop on anything.
