Expert says data center construction continues despite recession

The initial falloff of financial data center construction has been replaced by the construction of new government data centers, said Richard Sawyer, a vice president and engineer for EYP Mission Critical Facilities, which is now a division of Hewlett-Packard Co., according to SearchDataCenter.com.
