Abstract

When processing and storage are obtained as internet services, the actual location of the providing facility is undetermined. Factors like a robust and cheap power supply, cooling-relevant climate conditions as well as legal and risk-related considerations are important for selecting a facility’s site. As storage and processing facilities feature different economies of scale and location, their local separation is an alternative to combining them in one location. This paper contributes a game-theoretic model to investigate the market success of separate processing and storage facilities compared to a combined approach. It can be shown that stable market constellations with separate service specific facilities are possible.
