Data center build

Following on from my previous post showcasing an awesome LEGO datacenter creation, I thought you might like to see a more realistic (but yet far less detailed) version by Digital Realty – these people build real datacenter facilities all around the world.

This is one of those clever time-lapse videos where you get to see the whole thing being built “from the ground up”. You can see the raised floor going in which allows for neat cable management and (depending on the facility design) underfloor cooling systems.

A nice touch in this video is the little LEGO builder going around the site during construction (though it’s a lot for just one guy to build an entire datacenter!).
