Microsoft's Modular Datacenter


Microsoft's Modular Datacenter Overview of the Quincy, WA Facility The expansion in Quincy takes these ideas a step further by extending the flexibility of PACs across the entire facility using modular "building blocks" for electrical, mechanical, server and security subsystems. This increase in flexibility enables us to even better support the needs of what can often be a very unpredictable online business and allows us to build datacenters incrementally as capacity grows. Our modular design enables us to build a facility in significantly less time while reducing capital costs by an average of 50 to 60 percent over the lifetime of the project.

MS Dublin Datacenter Tour Slideshow


The Dublin datacenter incorporates a free air cooling design and is one of the most energy efficient facilities Microsoft has designed and built so far. Beyond the dramatic reduction in power consumption, the removal of traditional cooling systems negates the need for a chiller plant, allowing us to avoid the typical consumption of around 18 million liters of water each month. This design shows what is possible when you innovate locally and design facilities which take advantage of the natural environmental benefits around you. The Dublin Datacenter has also been recognized by Industry as the Best European Enterprise Datacenter Facility. Please visit our website at: www.globalfoundationservices.com
