The Planet DC costs 10s, if not 100s of millions of dollars.

Even if you want a smaller DC for "a few thousand servers," you need to put out at least a couple million dollars. That's if you want to do it the right way, and with the right "stuff."

Since you obviously have no idea what you're talking about, you'd also have to hire a whole team of network engineers to map out the facility for you.

It'd be a mighty task.

And then you also have to consider the connectivity to your facility. The backbone providers.

*Rolls eyes* Hell, I don't even want to think about building a datacenter lol.
