Our datacenter project is slowly starting to take off. In the beginning it will be a lot of paperwork, office work, finding suppliers, meeting with suppliers and other fun activities.
According to the original schedule, the project was supposed to start at the beginning of February, but because we couldn’t wait, we started in advance in mid-January, when we launched our website, wrote several introductory articles and announced several tenders.
