HOW TO BUILD A DATA CENTRE - Introduction - Episode 1 (NEW DA2)

Welcome to our BRAND NEW DATA CENTRE BUILD - DA2! Watch as we take you through the first stages of the build and showcase what is involved when building a Data Centre from scratch.

In this first episode Ash & Callum walk you through how the build has progressed so far and give an overview of what Phase 1 has in-store.

Over the next few months we will be sharing more videos of how the build is progressing and showcasing some of the partners we are working with to bring DA2 live next year.

ALSO - be sure to follow us across Twitter & LinkedIn as we will be sharing more content and updates on the build!

This seems so much more interesting than working as a developer at home.

[TheCodr]

So glad you guys are back. Good to see new projects are in the works 💪

[christianlee-flinders]

Been looking for a series like this for quite a while I think you guys are the first to document this on such a large scale, can’t wait to follow along

[killy]

Love watching your videos!

Just a tip for the video editor: when you add the music, please don't make it twice louder than the rest of the audio, since the sound is already bad with the guys and the microphones, so I constantly have to fix the volume while watching.

We, the technical people, don't care about the special effect, we want to hear the people explaining and talking clearly :)

I'm really glad you guys are back. Love your content.

Hey guy, thank for the new content I really enjoyed it! The drone shots and different camera angles are awesome.
Some tipps for the future:
Use individual clipping microphones on each person, so the sound is consistent and clearer between different angles.
Also if you list numbers and facts also add them as text to the video, to have some visual feedback.

Love to see more!

Very nice! Am particularly interested how that building is structured from a civil engineering perspective. Like, all the layers that separate the outside world from the unit in the rack.

[AwfulWaffle]

Please make more frequent updates about this. I'm very intrigued.

[ashleycullen.]

Good too see what goes into all this especially while I'm studying for my Network+ kept me motivated to get into the industry. Anyone reading this tips of breaking into industry with no experience is welcome.

[ajaymathew]

Nice to see videos again after such a long time congratulations on the new site ♥️♥️♥️

[devops-kinda]

lol Ash's face at 6:15 great videos guys honestly cant wait to see more!

[epccalyp]

Finally another video from CDC. I missed the video content from this channel. Have a great day.

[TheFlatronify]

I'd be really interested in the fire prevention and suppression concepts / systems, please include this in an episode.

Building a data centre is more about understanding the practical knowledge of how it works, there was an exam conducted in one of my previous organisations by a large data centre architectural and engineering organisation and almost 95% of the people who attempted the exam were failing to clear the paper (these were people who had a lot of experience in Information technology and were way more qualified than me in terms of degrees as well, they were preparing for the exam for months), Before studying I went around a data centre and understood how it works, studied for about two hours, took the exam, finished it in about 30 minutes and got all the answers right! (It was not very technical and it was so easy).
Cheers

Great to see Custodian expanding. We have a mutual customer, and they speak very highly of the team at Custodian; I wonder how long it'll be before you're hosting racks for them at DA2... :)

[Jody-nfbz]

Thanks for the video and Keep wobbling!

[dtec]

curious about fire rating with having normal walls or do you rely on a good fire suppression system to cope when needed

also where are the compromises when building such a system yes ideally everything would be top notch but in reality there are always compromises (managment)

[iand]

any plans for green tech, such as solar power to supplement the primaries, geothermal cooling? Don't know given the scale if these are feasible.

[humphshumphs]

WOW - You have been busy. Can't wait for the next episode.

[scenepool]

Nice video; I am a power engineer for DC's hopefully we get to see a bit of that in the next video.
