facebook, a billion dollar company with a social network so large, it needs buildings upon buildings to store the data of all its accounts. Facebook currently has five data centers worldwide which are large buildings full of technology used to operate the site. with billions of accounts and users and pictures and posts and videos, there is no wonder why they will be building another one in ireland. right out of Dublin specifically.
it is going to be a complete circuit because it uses 100% reusable energy although it will take a lot of energy to cool it. The most efficient data building they have is in norwegian because the cool nordic air allows them to cool the data center with natural recourses. There is lots of salt in the air in ireland so they must use filters in order to use the air to cool the data center.
Ireland is already used as facebook's national headquarters so a second data center in europe will be good for the company's growth.
I find is extremely interesting how a company can grow from working out of a house to this literal worldwide empire in a mere matter of years. This is one of the largest companies in the world because now that there is access to technology in many households so there are billions of facebook accounts worldwide. It has become a household name because of the mass appeal with such a simple concept that has been used before, but facebook has brought it to a completely other level. This form of media has grown so powerful and important in this world that we need billions of dollars to fund our addiction but in turn it generates trillions in profit. Social media has spread like wildfire especially sites like facebook and twitter. What once was a simple idea coming from your parents basement can turn into a worldwide empire. So the next time you have an idea really try to develop something with it because if zuckerberg had not, then who knows how the outcome of this world's social media movement would be
