I can't tell you the kind of servers, but I can say that I was
recently in Prineville, OR, where FB is building a data center (and a
second data center). I was used to the ol data centers - you know,
where there's raised floors, cabinets, cool air, a guard and a few
guys around with some screens?

But this was massive. I was amazed at the size - a few city blocks
long and a city block wide, with a transformer and power line the
size of a small city. I wonder if the Feds were involved.

the bonneville power administration.

hey joelja

this August 2011 article in the Economist outlines some relevant info
about the prineville, oregon FB datacenter.
