World's Highest Density Data Center (with video)

| | Comments (0)

Phew, that's an over the top video complete with music from Strauss' Zarathustra, more popularly known as the theme to the movie 2001. (H/T The Register)

It's a long story, but the short of it is:

It will be built near Las Vegas by real estate magnates who want to build a data center alley in the desert, powered by Hoover Dam (and, in the future, perhaps solar energy too?).

The numbers:

  • 407,000 square feet of space
  • Designed for 1,500 watts per square foot (does that mean it will consume 407,000 feet x 1,500 watts per foot = 610,500 watts? Don't know.)
  • 30,000 tons of equipment (including cooling)
  • over 7,000 cabinets
  • armed security
  • opening in 2008

Quite a story! The video doesn't tell you much. The Register's story is here.
