#Cloud Computing Data Centers

Yesterday I visited one of the biggest data centers in Europe! 🌍 Microsoft’s Dublin data center powers cloud services and AI services for businesses, governments and organisations across Ireland, the UK and much of Northern Europe. Hyperscale data centers like this one can host tens of thousands, and sometimes even hundreds of thousands of servers! What I found insane wasn’t actually the number of servers, it was the huge amount of infrastructure (power, cooling, etc) that helps to keep this data center running. Thanks to @microsoft for inviting me on the tour! ❤️

Did you know that by 2026, the cloud computing market is forecasted to be worth $947.3 billion?! AD Modern life is becoming increasingly reliant on the work of data centres; from accessing files in the cloud to using your home monitoring system to using social media, data centres have become crucial to powering what we do. This means there is an increasing demand for cloud computing-related roles and a need for people with the right skills to support the market! That’s why I was super excited to spend the day with @hereataws , learning about their data centers, which power their cloud services, and the important people who work with them every day! From Data Center Engineering Operatives to Environmental Program Managers, there are so many interesting roles related to data centers - I loved hearing all the important work these guys do and all the benefits of working at AWS!

The hottest building in the world I finally saw a data center from inside. This is why these are so important and why we need a LOT of energy for them!! Thank you @ADNOCgroup for having me

Living near massive data centers might sound like living near the future — but for many communities, it also means living with the hidden costs of the digital world. As companies like Meta Platforms scale AI infrastructure, the conversation is shifting from just innovation to impact: energy consumption, water usage for cooling, noise, and environmental strain on local communities. The AI boom isn’t just happening in the cloud — it’s happening in real neighborhoods with real trade-offs. As demand for compute explodes, balancing technological progress with sustainability and community well-being will become one of the biggest challenges of the next decade. ⚖️ Progress always has a price — the question is who pays it.

Googles new data centre in the UK would be as bad for the planet as AN AIRPORT! #ai #datacenter

I went to a data center with over 90,000+ servers to see how the cloud works. And I was genuinely surprised. Here's some of the highlights: #technology #programming #code #datacenter

Data Center..! #justdoit #loveit

Microsoft’s underwater data center is changing the way we think about cloud storage. Servers placed 117 feet below the ocean surface use natural cooling, reduce energy consumption, and are protected from humidity and oxygen offering a more reliable and sustainable solution for the future of data management. #microsoft #datacenter #cloudcomputing #techinnovation #sustainabletech #ocean #facts #nature #knowledge

When we think of “the cloud,” we picture something virtual, but it’s actually thousands of servers and cables that need massive amounts of energy to stay cool. @nikolajwilliamcw visits a data center that needs as much energy as a small city.
