"...could servers be far behind?"

No, they're just going to buy a dedicated data center and rent it out to people. The hell kind of question is that?

FTA: What's more, this move could clear a path for Facebook to design and build its own servers.

The question is about custom servers, it just didn't make it into the title.

Facebook certainly has the expertise to build their own servers: http://www.facebook.com/techtalks#/video/video.php?v=2085616... and they are hiring Hardware Engineers: http://www.linkedin.com/jobs?viewJob=&jobId=822679
