Facebook's Server Room, Penthouse Cooling Caught On Video

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-scandalous dept.

1sockchuck writes "We've seen specifications and photos of Facebook's new data center in Oregon. Data Center Knowledge now has video tours of Facebook's server room and cooling system. The tours, conducted by Facebook Director of Datacenter Engineering Jay Park, showcase the Open Compute Project designs for servers, UPS units and two-tier 'penthouse' cooling system design."

    Sadly, the video of Facebook's massive server array was not hosted on facebook's massive server array. Instead, it was hosted on a P3 600mhz with a rockin SCSI-II hard drive. Yay, progress.

      Got to love when a site called "datacenterknowledge.com" can be slashdotted at dinnertime...

      No idea why you were marked troll. If you're going to claim to be an authority on datacentres, maybe actually host your site on a decent one.

    Yes, it is actually a direct link to a video's hosting site (blip.tv) and not some URL shortened Goatse.
