Yes, your timeline is correct with the boom in Ashburn. It started out with Acc1, then Acc2 and then Acc3.. These were just some tiny buildings compared to the DC’s that would come in the next 20 years. ACC4 came online somewhere around your timeline as well.
ACC4 was the most state of the art data center in the world when it opened, and it was like 10 times the scale as the previous 3.. Construction halted on ACC5 when the 2008 recession hit. They said the funds dried up to continue construction, and laid thousands of workers off one morning.
Things picked back up a number of years later, and I believe they are past ACC12 now lol..

The newer generation data centers with 2 floors right down the street eclipse the ACC’s of the past and make them look child’s play.
