AFAIK they have a very limited number of DC built reusing shipping containers, most of them, including the ones built in the last ten years, are regular buildings built from scratch or repurposed.
AFAIK there have been ONE instance of a DC taking fire, and it wasn't built from containers.

- ferngodfather 2mo ago1 "data center" built from a shipping container is one too many. And, did you look at the photos you linked lol.
- wiether 2mo agoI did, yes. Particularly this one: https://lafibre.info/images/ovh/202202_incendie_ovh_strasbourg_partage_experience_sdis67_2.jpg https://lafibre.info/images/ovh/202202_incendie_ovh_strasbou... Only SBG1 was built from containers, it partially burnt due to its proximity to SBG2, but its SBG2, which was not built from containers, that burnt down.
