These facilities are crucial from customers like; Disney, Qualcomm, eBay, Pay Pal, and hundreds more.

You missed out the Slough Trading Estate data park, west of London UK. It is the largest data park in Europe. It has its own power station supplying electricity to over two dozen large data centres for the financial institutions in London, as well as China Mobile Europe and most other telecoms companies operating in the UK. The Slough data park is fed by the UK's internet superhighway.
I worked for 34 years for the Los Angeles DWP in electricity generating stations. One thing I noticed is the massive electricity consumption used by these huge data centers. Some of these data centers have electricity consumption around 180 megawatts. At Scattergood Generating Station units 1 and 2 could put 185 megawatts each at full load. This is a huge amount of electricity. It sounds like building huge data centers also requires building facilities to generate the electricity for these data centers. Also although this video mentions the use of solar power for these data centers. Solar Power is not the only source of power. The electricity has to also come from other sources, such as generating stations that burn natural gas or fuel oil to power these data centers.
@@masonsoutdoorsportsmenadve4933 I do not know how much electricity an international airport consumes, except that it must a very high amount of electricity because of the large size of these international airports, that also includes power to airplanes when the airplanes are sitting at the airport.

Datacenter is very essential for today's generation. The massive content like videos, sms, mms, voice calls , video calls are needed to keep youth engaged.
The facility in Miami has never been hidden nor has the facility in Utah. Those building have a lot of security. None of those buildings are hidden. Access without proper credentials and a breach is highly unlikely.
The world's data facilities' total daily energy consumption must be in the multiple terawatts range. When all the AI capability starts to fully come online, there might not be enough electricity generation to keep all this stuff fed.
I'd definetly want to rob one! There are so much tech involved in these, i can't even afford a single screw from them. one day i'd love to have at least one newly manufactured server at home, maybe even build my home lab with it.
Wonder why they built data center in such hot regions, it would require more resources to maintain temperatures. maybe because is closer to metropolitan areas?
Your list is clearly wrong. If #3 “once held the title of the largest data center outside the US and Asia” - that means there were once bigger ones in the US and ASIA, and there’s currently bigger elsewhere too. Which means this one CANNOT be #3
Data centers are large facilities that house a network of servers, storage devices, networking equipment, and other technology infrastructure to store, process, and distribute data. They are essential for companies and organizations to store and manage their digital information securely. These data centers are often used to support cloud computing services, which allow users to access applications, services, and data remotely over the internet. Data centers play a crucial role in enabling the digital services we use every day, from email and social media to streaming video and online shopping. The size and scale of data centers have grown significantly in recent years with the increasing demand for digital services and the explosion of data generated by individuals and businesses. The largest data centers in the world are massive facilities that can span millions of square feet and consume vast amounts of energy to operate. In today's digital age, data centers are the backbone of our interconnected world, enabling the storage, processing, and distribution of data that powers our daily lives.
They want to hurry up and switch to SSD drives, I know there's reliability issues with them but we cant keep covering planet with these things 20% of Ireland's electricity supply goes on data centers. We need a different type of storage like Microsoft in working on glass to store data, okay at the moment its more for long therm storage not instant access but requires no power during storage time as the glass plates keep the data indefinitely well a few millennia. Mind you one decent hiccup from our sun and it back to pens and paper with an abacus thrown in for good measure.
Subject: Potential Video Idea: Top 15 Biggest Data Centers on Earth Dear Editor, I hope this message finds you well. As a fan of your channel and the informative content you produce, I wanted to reach out with a suggestion for a potential video idea that I believe could be both interesting and educational for your audience. In today's digital age, data centers play a crucial role in storing and processing vast amounts of information. I believe a video showcasing the top 15 biggest data centers on Earth would be incredibly captivating for viewers who are interested in technology and infrastructure. Not only would this video shed light on the physical locations where our data is stored, but it could also provide insight into the scale and complexity of these facilities. From the massive structures housing countless servers to the environmental considerations involved in operating such large data centers, there is a wealth of fascinating information to explore. I believe that highlighting the top data centers in the world would not only appeal to your current audience but also attract new viewers who are curious about the inner workings of the digital world. Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to seeing the engaging content you continue to produce. Best regards, [Your Name]
#1 biggest data center uses 150 megawatts. Puts into perspective the supercomputer Elon Musk is building to create Grok3 by the end of 2024. That single supercomputer network will be using 150 megawatts! Moreover, plans are to expand its size through 2025 to a whopping 500 megawatts, for a SINGLE AI training computer (networked servers)!
Why would you build a data center that generates an enormous about of heat in extremely hot locations like Nevada or Arizona? I would think these centers would be built in colder areas to reduce the amount of cooling energy needed.
The amount of BS stock footage doesn't give too much trust, but there is such a data centre, and it is already impressive with 120K M2 space. However, the future plans are really huge.
lol #1 - IBM pulled everything out of china recently so it's no longer an IBM shop. these sort of videos probably need to be redone every 3 months to keep up to international and geopolitical realities.

Some commentators have doubted this video as being imaginary with only AI generated images ! Well, I can vouch for the data center at 8th being real, as my design team has designed the whole facility. Everything shown and spoken about the facility is true. Yes, it is the second largest Tier-4 data center in the world, certified by Uptime Institute with a total IT power capacity of 30.6 MW and total power consumption capacity of 50 MW. Hence, I do not see any reason, why all others listed in the video are not true !
You say data center but wouldn't super computer apply better? What laws govern this technology? What laws protect people from this technology harming them, their family , and the general public?
Data center racks run 24/7, this video portrays solar power as if it were anything more than a novelty. They are there for critics to believe they put a dent in power consumption, how much power do you think these solar panels generate at night when most computers perform updates and database refreshes? A company I work for wanted to build 18 data centers in an adjacent county, they rejected proposals until we agreed to put solar panels on the roofs. These panels will supply less than 5% of DC power when they’re active in ideal conditions. That’s AI research for you, dumbed town 😒
Why Those guys who walked around the racks and servers are very well dressed like go to some business meeting??😅😅😂 and they do something try to do something?
Why shouldn't IBM help Chinese companies? It's a global world. Businesses should be allowed to compete on a level playing field to the bebefit of consumers.
Most commercial real estate in US is always talked about in square feet as it works no matter number of floors etc. Usually houses and apts also do this. My understand is in Europe use square meters but it's still the same idea.
