Fair enough, I didn’t realise they were so different from traditional DC’s.

Well that’s one way to speed run environmental catastrophe.

Sorry to burst your bubble but DC’s aren’t going anywhere. Even if we are in a position to make quantum computers commercially available in the next 10 years they’ll still need to be housed somewhere, powered, cooled and connected.

Besides, quantum computers are great at complex calculations and simulations but you wouldn’t use them to host a website or a VPS. They’ll be hideously expensive so will only be used for the specific workloads that they excel at and everything else will done with the same servers we have now.

I’ve never seen a data centre with a chimney stack. This must be an American thing.
