Automakers also began to build their own data centers

General Motors has allocated $ 130 million for the construction of a corporate data center - almost the same as the largest computer companies Google, IBM, Microsoft and others have (only slightly smaller in size). Previously, projects of new cars were drawn in pencil on drawings, reworking them many times, but the modern process of developing new models is impossible without computer design. Therefore, it is very important for engineers to have a modern IT infrastructure and sufficient computing power.

The General Motors management considered and decided that it would be more profitable to combine servers in one data center than to work with separate computers that now stand in each department. This is an increase in power and energy savings.
