The US government is terrible at managing data centres: five years after the Federal Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) mandated the closure or consolidation of thousands of inefficient server farms, the federal agencies are nowhere close to meeting its goals.

According to a report from the US Government Accountability Office (GAO), the government closed 6,250 data centres that were funded by the American taxpayer by August 2018, out of a total of 12,166. But only 13 out of 24 government departments that are subject to FITARA and its extension, the Data Centre Optimization Initiative (DCOI), reported that they had met, or were on track to meet, all of their assigned data centre closure targets.
