The Trouble With Tribbles: Data Center Growth and Controlling the Population

M510DC SSD

In my last blog I made some references to the BORG as it related to data center development. This time around, in keeping with my Trekkie theme, I thought I would look at the furrier side of things.
Data centers continue to grow and, if left to their own devices, will overtake space that should be used for other resourcing (for example, taking a corn field and pouring concrete for servers).

Through this process, the BORG became a “super villain” in the world of Star Trek. So why does it matter? So why does it matter? In my last blog post, I talked about reaching for the clouds in 2015. I thought I would continue down that path...
