Facebook’s Newest Data Center Is Now Online In Altoona, Iowa
Description
Facebook today announced that its newest data center in Altoona, Iowa, is now open for business. The new facility complements the company’s other centers in Prineville, Ore; Forest City, N.C. and Luleå, Sweden. What’s actually more interesting than the fact that the new location is now online is that it’s also the first data center to use Facebook’s new high-performance networking architecture. Traditional data centers are, for the most part, built around clusters of machines. With Facebook’s new approach, however, the entire data center in Altoona runs on a single high-performance network. There are no clusters, just server pods that are all connected to each other.
