Welcome to my exploration of the fascinating world of data centers! 🌐 In this class, I explain the inner workings of Microsoft's data centers, taking you on a virtual tour that uncovers how the cloud operates behind the scenes. From submarine cables and high-tech operations rooms to innovative cooling systems and cutting-edge quantum computing research, you'll get a detailed look at what powers the tools and services we use daily.
In this tour, you will walk through the data center lobby, learn how operations rooms manage systems using AI and telemetry, examine the mechanics of cooling and power in these massive facilities, see the layout and function of server rooms, and learn about the environmental impact of maintaining such large-scale operations.
This video is packed with insights into the network connectivity that links these centers to the world, advancements like Project Natick’s underwater data centers, and groundbreaking research in quantum computing. Whether you're curious about how your favorite apps stay online 24/7 or want to understand the future of cloud technology, this video will provide you with valuable information.
