Re: Why the US Government has so many data centers

Guess what, an IG decides to count "data centers" using OMB's definition of a data center. CIO points out those "data centers" won't save money. https://fcw.com/articles/2016/04/11/lyngaas-halvorsen-update.aspx The IG report knocked Halvorsen for not adjusting his strategy to account for a revised definition of data centers from the Office of Management and Budget. But Halvorsen defended that decision, saying the revised definition focused on special-purpose processing nodes, which are data centers that have no direct connection to the DOD Information Network. "Those nodes aren't where the money [is], and in most cases, there's no value in consolidating them," Halvorsen said.
