I’ve deployed substantial quantities of gear in 9 datacenters across 4 countries in my career. I’ve gotten a panicked call from Bell Canada when they realized our deployment density in an older facility, then had to work with them to provide weights of all of our cabinets. Sure though, all armchair nonsense. What’s your background?
I’m just going to repeat myself. Ildeploying a day center isn’t building one. If you’d architected a data center I’d give a fuck about what you’re saying
Again:
Cost is the limiting factor. Not weight. You are provably incorrect. You can ignore proof all you want. It doesn’t make you right.
You started off with an ad hominem attack calling it armchair nonsense, that the weight argument has no merit. I’m pointing out i have actual experience in this area. If you hadn’t been an asshole with your initial reply I wouldn’t have bothered replying, instead here we are.
Everything is a money problem when you get down to it far enough. Why don’t we have mars colonies? Money. Why don’t cars fly? Money. Why doesn’t everyone live in super tall towers that touch the atmosphere? Money. Sure let’s just ignore all the engineering considerations and reduce it down to the absolute basic explanation of “money” so that nobody in this thread will learn anything.
Why don’t we have super tall datacenters? It’s not worth the money to sustain that level of weight in a new tower, and definitely not worth it to overhaul an existing tower.
It’s pointless to call out money as the limit, that’s completely obvious.
I did not make an ad hominem attack. Tf are you talking about?
We LITERALLY do have tall (not super tall, but over a dozen stories) data centers, you overconfidently and provably incorrect human.
We build fucking residential mega towers with swimming pools larger than the average lake on the roof. It is cost. It is not a hard limit. It is cost. You overconfident idiot.
They’re (tall data centers) in Manhattan, Tokyo, etc. Where the aforementioned cost of that weight does not surpass the cost of la d sprawl.
They don’t get ‘super’ tall bc heat goes up. Not because of weight. (Handling that heat is also cost, it is less exponential).

Anyways I’m over this thread, byeeeee.

Tagged as overconfidently incorrect…
Edit: you’re so
provably
Wrong
Like jfc bro. Here:
Sabey NYC (375 Pearl)
Digital Realty (60 Hudson)
NYI (60 Hudson)
CoreSite (32 Ave of the Americas)
Digital Realty (111 8th Ave)
Equinix TY11 (Tokyo Ariake)
AT TOKYO (Chuo Center)
Telehouse (Tokyo Otemachi)
Equinix TY4 (Tokyo Otemachi)
Now fuck off with your provably incorrect armchair bullshit.
