The social network–Facebook just started a significant expansion outside its home base via announcing the launch of its first non-US data Centre in Swedish Lapland in order to handle all data processing from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The company is planning to spend SKr1bn ($153m) on the initial construction phase, which will rise to between SKr3bn and SKr5bn for three buildings at one site.
According to Facebook’s director of site operations–Tom Furlong, it is said that this move is a recognition that social network will continue to grow and that most of its users are now outside the US.
