distribution across 8 centers => if it could happen randomly (best case) or evenly distributed (worst case) so the smallest N for at least 8 servers is 64 because in worst case the servers will be distributed evenly which means we will need at least 8 x 8 = 64 servers, and since its evenly distributed then we only need to add 1 to have 9 servers in 1 data center
