Hello, Ken Baxter here at Apollo Realty Investments in Las Vegas. In my last post I shared some information about the massive, new data center currently under construction in Henderson, NV. The more I looked into it, I learned so many fascinating things most people may not know about Google Data Centers (GDCs) I just had to do a follow-up.
Currently there are 16 GDCs in the world with 8 operating or under construction in the United States. Did I mention this place is massive? The center, on a 64 acre parcel, is rumored to be 750,000 SF. That’s a big building. A typical GDC houses thousands of machines and the security is super tight. If you are hoping to schedule a tour of the facility when it is completed you will be disappointed, there are no personal tours or site visits allowed. The video below takes a look at the center in South Carolina and the Henderson facility looks to be very much like this one.
