The World's Largest Data Centers 87
1sockchuck writes "It seems data centers are getting bigger all the time. Who has the world's largest server farm? Data Center Knowledge has put together a list of 10 huge data centers, all between 400,000 and 1.1 million square feet. The story highlights the trend toward ever-bigger data centers, such as the Vegas SuperNAP and Microsoft's container data center, as well as established behemoths like the NAP of the Americas in Miami and Lakeside Technology Center in Chicago."

I love networking and datacenters... it seems very exciting to me to think about designing and maintaining a datacenter like that.
This [slashdot.org] was one of the most exciting threads I've ever read on Slashdot, if that tells you anything.

Too bad this wasn't hosted at one of world's 10 biggest data centers. If it had been, the site might have survived the Slashdot effect.

[T]he CEO that said one of the reasons they bought the site was because it had "room for growth".
I too have room for growth in my Command Center, just as soon as I finish clearing out that stack of old magazines where the router and CB Radio are sitting. Hmm. Come to think of it, I need another power strip.
