Microsoft to go to Siberia
Microsoft has decided to open a datacenter in the northern-most regions of Russia, a smart move, designed, no doubt, to take advantage of inexpensive energy the region can afford.
The New York Times has the story. The company has yet to choose a site for its operations there.
The country is working through its e-government strategy, an initiative designed to deploy information technologies in government agencies.
Technology companies will increasingly see gains from operations in Russia, and inexpensive electricity to run datacenters is just the beginning. There’s a great wealth of human capital just waiting to find good opportunities.
