#14Pretty interesting. I love how bespoke data centers are converging along very similar lines. I'm sure if you were inside a Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or Facebook data center you would recognize the new design touch points. The old data center is dead, long live the new data center. This was the second big thing Google had learned early on: "The equipment is reduced to its basics so it runs cooler. It can also be easi…
The number of physical connections (power and numerous data cables) that can be seen in the 5th slide that each machine has makes this seem infeasible for now, but considering the article mentions there's "only one technician for every 25,000 servers" and Facebook's FBAR software (hey, that's up from 20k), it seems like the next step in "the new data center" is having a robot to unrack (and rack) entire machines and bring them to a servicing bay.

I don't think that facebook is good for openness of the web and/or society as a whole, the amount of power without oversight that this Zuck has is simply scary.
