That way the data center employees don’t have to pay New York City income taxes.

Sounds like a cool project.

I wonder how many VM datastores are going to be in that place. One could only guess. I’m SURE that EMC just loved the idea.

I’d love to know what kind of pipe they have going into that location. Probably bandwidth we would nearly kill for. lol

The Mahwah facility owned by NYSE is so big it’s unbelievable. I can’t see how the Mahwah facility will be utilized, it can as of right now fulfill all datacenter needs of every market in North America, but is actually capable of 75 times the current data needs of all North American markets.

FYI, being reported that Mahwah has a latency of 10 to 12 milliseconds.
