What is a data center?

Searching something as enormous as the world wide web can only be accomplished by a huge number of computers. The large fraction of computers operated by large internet companies—​like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, or Twitter—​are located in data centers. Data centers are specifically designed to hold large numbers of computers. That design goal produces a specific set of challenges, particularly related to power and heating.

I just want to take the time to say thank you. I have a job interview tomorrow. I doubt I will get it. But am hopeful if I try. Never have seen a data center but the job is a data technician role. Since I was younger I dreamed of working in technology in a large scale or capacity. They say you learn something new everyday and you do when people like yourself make such videos. I hope it continues.

This place reminds me of this room that Sam Fisher had to go into.

I know one day all the data centers will fit onto a size of a single drop of dew on a ginkgo leaf.

I worked in a medium sized data center in of an airline. Its loud and lights and servers should be on 24/7 365. Managing all that with water cooling. Can be dangerous. The water can reach to the racks and destroy them. So it's a critical based facility with alarms and advanced monitoring

Wow ..I wish I will work there one day in future 🙏

I love the intel. As legend would have it, this informational video was actually not authorized and created a security breach that sadly costed this young man his job

Cardboard in the Data Centre is a No No. (Fire Risk and Dust.... to mention a few)

Not necessarily at 2:20. If they’re configured for it you can access the server via console with a management terminal.
