Comment on Linode announces new datacenter location, Japanparent

Comments

It's a data center.

You're not living in it.

Data centers are huge, hot, and expensive. Both how hot an area is and how prone to natural disasters it is drastically affect the price of the data center.

The parent post asks good questions. Why are the data centers in Tokyo rather than in 'x' where 'x' doesn't have said problems? My best guess is network connectivity.
