Twitter has announced that it will be working toward consolidating management of its data centers within its own organization. The company’s first custom-built data center, located in the Salt Lake City area, will fire up later this year. Twitter will keep its relationship with NTT America to maintain its current operational capacity, said Jean-Paul Cozzatti on the Twitter Engineering blog. However, he listed numerous advantages to taking data center operation in-house and noted that more Twitter-owned and operated facilities will be built during the next two years.
