Google to move in next door?
Interesting story from the P&J, suggesting that Google could move to build a datacentre in Inverurie:
Google considers Inverurie base
Internet giant Google is locked in talks which could lead to the creation of its first Scottish base in part of a closed north-east paper mill, the Press and Journal can reveal.
The company, regarded as the world’s biggest brand, is understood to be keen to create a data centre on the outskirts of Inverurie to help power its search engines.
It emerged last week that negotiations between the owner of the International Paper mill and an unnamed consortium were at an advanced stage and a deal could be signed within months.
It was disclosed only that the deal would pave the way for the creation of a multimillion-pound electricity generating plant and “an energy-efficient data centre” powered by it.
Okay, so it’s in Aberdeenshire, and doesn’t directly impact Nairnshire.
However, in tandem with the planned eco-datacentre in Inverness, it looks like the wider region in general could benefit from continued opportunities for growth industries.
Especially in terms of both datacentres being within travelling distance of Nairn.
Perhaps we need a few more small ads promoting Nairn in the IT literature.
