As a blind-mating solution, ELSIS eliminates user access to optical fiber ports and cables, providing a complete external laser source system for safe, easy implementation and maintenance. 

The research is based on an analysis of the data center footprint of 19 of the world’s major cloud and internet service firms, including the largest operators in SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, search, social networking, e-commerce, and gaming.

Located in Huailai County, Hebei Province, Huailai Data Centre is situated on a 3.3-hectare (ha) land plot that forms part of a larger data center campus spanning 29.7 ha. The campus is 65 km from Beijing Central and 70 km from Beijing Capital International Airport. 

Tim Huffman and Mike Lash of CBRE represented and advised the seller, the Fayette County Development Authority (FCDA), in the deal and procured the buyer. The land was sold for $153.8 million, or approximately $250,000 per acre.

Large-scale organizations, such as Cisco Systems Inc., Dell Technologies Inc., IBM Corp., ATOS SE, and NEC Corp., among others, are involved in the creation of advanced technologies for data center servers to turn them into smart machines. 

In the past, site selection criteria was based on 15 acres or so with about 40 MW per site. The new criteria are based around 200-plus acres and 150 MW per site. 

TeleGeography projects that subsea cable spending will strengthen as hyperscalers shift their position from generating demand to generating supply. 

Mission critical data center operations typically require significant amounts of water and energy for cooling, and hyperscale server rack power density is expected to double as soon as 2023.

The generator sets are based on mtu 20-V 4000 L64 FNER gas engines, which fulfil the strictest emissions standards, allow for quick ramp-up and ramp-down, offer a wide range of load operations, and high performance at high temperatures.
