Not very much detail or information for a "full tour"

[brynnvixxen]

"Full tour" Apparently means here look at 1 Isle, and outside ... so in depth

[AllAmericanfrvr]

I work in one of these DCs. And i like how they found the one aisle with no blinking error lights

1:40 First Rule in Datacenters: Don't touch anything randomly. Especially not cables!

[alexk]

This is actually the super computer AI that powers clippy

[GetCTOwned]

This was the shortest datacenter tour ever. “Here’s a few racks and 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.

[imapersonnotachanneldammit]

We learned more about the diesel generators than the actual hardware inside the data center. What a worthless clickbait.

[Discovery_and_Change]

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

[velociraptor]

Cool, but didn’t really tell us anything

[chris.sharp-]

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.

[BosleyBeats]

Really proud of this facility. It’s a beautiful beast of a DC. So much work and it’s just amazing to see what we built from dirt to energize

[syberphish]

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.

[Keyakina]

Wow you get access to the a azure data center and this is all you show.. Very little information as well. This could easily be a 20 min video

[darkpixelk]

Around two minutes some guy fondled some fiber optic cable... that's why Exchange 362 went down again...

[grbu]

"there are more than 20 buildings" <--- too hard to be any more specific than that?

[shin-ishikiri-no]

CEO struts his massive CEO legs. Never skips leg day at the Data Centre.

[cheesefries]

The tour was trash, he didn't say anything yet he never stopped talking.

[Arctic_silverstreak]

Show the full footage of the building with drone

But

Only show single cluster

[drewzerbruizer]

Uh, nice "full" tour huh? Thanks.
