Afterwards, you can just go look at 1 aisle, and you'll realize you've seen it all.

This was the shortest datacenter tour ever. “Here’s a few racks and ooooo wooowwww they have a UPS and generator solution just like every other datacenter on earth.
I’m a construction electrician & I build these buildings in Chicagoland. It’s the most consistent work in covid times. The building and systems we are making is absolutely amazing.
0:30 There are more than 20 buildings, each large enough to house 2 aircrafts 0:35 2 million square feet and 300 acres 1:29 Almost half a million server computers
It's a data center folks. That 1 aisle looks like all of the others in all of the buildings. Take a few hundred thousand hard drives and stack them on top of each other, then spend 8 hours just looking at them all and get back to me on what all you really missed from only seeing that 1 aisle.
What's impressive about this is the software that runs on it. I make my living on Microsoft mostly. A lot of companies can buy half a million computers or even more, but not that many can build the kind of cloud that Microsoft, Google, Amazon have done.
While they all supress your freedom of speech, ability to provide for you and you family, and say you pollute to much and shouldn’t own a car or house because you are the reason for “Global Warming”. The Globalist Pedophile Tech Companies are doomed if they fulfill the WEF Agenda to decrease global population to 500,000,00 and centralized Global Government that they want and strive for.
Dissapointing. Basic things missing like recuperation, hot and cold aisles makes this looks very inefficient. Also call this short video "full tour" is kind of missleading
The data center look like a larger circuit board, and these houses look like larger chips, each of them contains thousands of servers, and each server has one CPU, several RAM and hard disks.
Data centers are one of the most secure places on earth and with this advantage, we can plant SMR's ( Small Modular Reactors) which run on nuclear fuel. And these SMR's are so advanced that they will not leave any nuclear waste and they have state-of-the-art safety mechanisms. These Data centers consume a lot of energy and Imagine if all the data centers in the world use SMR's we can make a great impact on the environment. These SMR's are being used in Nuclear Submarines and Aircraft Carriers for a very long time.
Its a pity you never covered the DC cooling method; I could have sworn I saw a full wall of huge fans perpendicular to the server racks. Behind where they are standing, see here (1:43)
Didn't really surprise me that the tour is very short and didn't show us much of anything as they're keeping the servers info a secret. The back of the servers do tell a story but what are exactly in the servers is what I am most interested in. Ah well.
I work in Data Center. Basically think of it as many teams involved and the ones on site working with the servers don’t actually control what’s going on in the server. That is something the Application team views on their end. They are somewhere else in the world utilizing remote connection to connect into the servers in order to play with them.
the only reason AWS, Microsoft, Google and so on want us to move to the "cloud"(or their servers and hardware) is to make more money and to make us even more dependant of them......
More like they want to steal all the good ideas that come in and sell your data to other corporations. and all you get out of the deal is a system full of stupid updates every second day.
I used to work at the Quincy plant but they don`t tell you the things I`ve seen. There are bodies buried under the parking lot on the East end of it there. If you linger in this one spot they will tell you to leave. I got too paranoid and had to quit.
Wait sorry each generator can power 3000 homes but makes less emissions than a lawnmower? Either you're talking about PM 2.5 ONLY, which is misleading at best, or they're SMRs.
Solar depends on the location of the datacenter in order for it to produce the required power. A datacenter like this requires the same amount of power that is needed for a small town, so just putting solar panels on top of the buildings might not be sufficient or practical especially for this location which is further north. There are other clean energy alternatives besides like solar like hydrogen which he mentioned that would do just fine.
@@piratesmvp There's new solar tech that captures more of the light spectrum so it has an output 95% higher than the older versions . I'm pretty sure that Microsoft and other companies know about it. But yes they would still need a lot of power so they could do a mix of solar and wind.
So instead of working with Tesla Microsoft went with diesel? that’s odd. And what about solar flares? What protections have been implemented against a Carrington event?
What if the worst-case scenario happens? There's a 9.5 earthquake that destroys the entire complex, and I mean nothing is left. Not one of the 500,000 servers survive. At the same time, there's a another 9.5 earthquake at the back-up data center on the opposite side of the globe. In fact, out of bad luck, there are 9.5 earthquakes right below every Microsoft data center, wherever they are. What's the plan other than panic?
Brad, looking at 4:01, I can't help but think that at least a part of the solution to the energy problem is right there! Why didn't you guys plaster the roof with solar cells?
Not enough batteries in the world can power all the computer equipment, you can store fossil fuel for a long time, batteries needs constant maintenance, batteries has charging and discharging protocols otherwise it will fail when you most need it.
Yeah, talking to change the generators. Who cares about diesel in case of power outage when 99.999% of the time it's drawing the juice of 400'000 homes? Where does that electricity come from. Microsoft are morons. Incompetent and really think people are stupid enough to buy their crap and BS. Let us all change to Linux. Teach Linux at schools. Get rid of those apple and M&S shenanigans.
Im considering where to store my data online. Google Drive or Microsoft Drive.. I decided to pick Microsoft because they provide pc os and already a prioneer so because of this they also know how to manage their data and im right

"Full tour" Apparently means here look at 1 Isle, and outside ... so in depth
I mean once you see one you've kind of seen them all. At least thats what I used to say. Until I saw them all
I work at one of these datacenters, there's really not much else you missed. Generic offices and like he said a metal detection checkpoint.

How much information and details do you really need? It's literally just a loud room of racks upon racks of big computers.
I work in one of these DCs. And i like how they found the one aisle with no blinking error lights
well said!

CRAH units supplying that cooling coming from cooled water from the outside fluid coolers (wet/dry/adiabatic cooling).
@@Purefoo212 Thats what I thought. All new decent DC's seem to go with the free air/Adiabatic.

Why change the generators when each one pollutes equal to one lawn mower?
They simply bring Factorio to another level I must say.

How long can you resist wihout power from grid ? One month ?
I learned so much about diesel generator from this video..thank you
This guy just said this place is more important than having running water...
A full tour in only 3 minutes? 😄
In Azure, you can provision a backup power unit in a few seconds for you virtual server in the event of a power outage. Only costs $0.003 per second.
Nearly $11 a minute? That's expensive!
@@Dylan-xc8yz that would be $11/hr and $.18/minute
good to know that it will run on diesel under a power outage. very innovative. That was the highlight of the "full" tour.
Not really. What would've been innovative would be to get this thing running on renewables in the event of a power outage.
@@AviationTV I was trying to be sarcastic. Diesel engines were invented more than a hundred years ago

looks quite bad to be honest
Meeh, I've seen a lot better
According to my calculations, that server can store around 700+ PB of data

Nice data center. Was wondering, where does all electricity comes from that powers this facility? Any hydro, nuclear around?
Mainly hydro, as it is located just off the Columbia River.
is it running linux?
Why arent there sunpannels on the roof.
Where they store your data
The funny thing is, if they switch from Windows to Linux, many less servers will handle same jobs at same time. Less servers = less buildings.

WHERE is their HEARING PROTECTION. istg my old supervisor would have whacked me upside the head lol
Can't they install some solar panels on those acres of roofs ? besides those shiny diesel generators.

Polymers will play an important part of datacenters going forward. High speed, low power. LWLG is being tested under NDA
do you have links cuz I love that kind of stuff. I know they're using super computers to find new materials like you've said.
I really don’t think those are the main servers
Awesome! But can it run Crysis?
It looks like every data center from 1997 and like Windows it simply changes the version name year after year.
