TBs of data is not really that much data on average when  you average it
over thousands of customers. The data is summarized, There are a ton of
other things happening in the background that I've already explained in the
thread and are really irrelevant to the task at hand which is finding a
facility in Africa that does Bare Metal servers. I've had a lot of helpful
people, despite the naysayers.

Thanks!
