- swah 16y agoAny idea on how much would it cost to produce a small quantity of those boards? At which scale does it starts to make sense to use a custom made motherboard instead of a off-the-shelf PC?
- flyt 16y agoHP, Dell and other vendors are already showing off hardware built to the new specifications: http://instagr.am/p/C66FU/ http://instagr.am/p/C66FU/

Observe first tweet. http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/status/56062315665178624 http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/status/56062315665178624 That said, I lost all interest in the image due to the dumb focus effect.

- wmf 16y agoOne thing to keep in mind is that one rack holds 90 servers and each battery rack feeds 180 servers, so (at least in Facebook's case) that's the basic unit. If this stuff takes off I would expect someone to produce a smaller 30-slot rack, though.
- ewams 16y agoNo. Each rack holds 30 servers and each triplet holds 90. The battery cabinet can support 2 triplets. http://opencompute.org/datacenters/ http://opencompute.org/datacenters/

- sundars 16y agoOne of the most important fact form this article which is likely to be overlooked is : "the Prineville facility runs at 85°F with a 65 percent relative humidity". Running at such a high humidity + Temp combination is impressive esp when you look at the money saved in environmental costs.
- chopsueyar 16y agoThat quote made it seem like the incoming air was at 65% relative humidity, but... "which in turns lets Facebook rely on evaporative cooling instead of air conditioning." So it runs at 65% relative humidity after the swamp coolers. I doubt this would be possible in datacenters in more tropical environments (south Florida). Thoughts?
