The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 842 This computer room is small and cool
"Mr. Huang, what does this mean?" Zuckerberg couldn't understand what Boss Huang meant.

"Go, I'll show you something!" Huang He didn't rush to answer, but took Zuckerberg into the car.

After Zuckerberg got into the car, he found that it was a completely enclosed vehicle, and he couldn't see any scenery outside through the window, which made him feel a little uneasy deep in his heart.Boss Huang on the side explained very calmly, "This is a secret scientific research base of our Jiangnan Group, because there have been a lot of interesting people recently, so the location of this base is very secretive, and it is not convenient for me to disclose it. You Just follow along!"

Zuckerberg naturally didn't dare to say anything. This is his territory, so he just needs to be obedient. Anyway, Huang He doesn't have the guts to harm an American, let alone he is a dignified corporate boss. .

After about an hour's drive, Zuckerberg finally got out of the car, but when he got out of the car, he found himself in a parking lot.

This parking lot is very large, but there are not many vehicles in it, and about 3/4 of it is empty.

Under the leadership of Huang He, Zuckerberg entered the building, but he was limited by his personality. When Zuckerberg tried to look in a certain direction, he would be pulled friendly by Huang. To the side, and finally went straight to a computer room.

"This computer room is a bit small!" This was Zuckerberg's first feeling when he saw this computer room.This room is only about 1000 square meters. This area sounds quite large, but it is actually less than one percent of the area of ​​Weibo's own computer room.

Weibo has further developed, and now a large-scale computer service center has been built in the valley of Colorado, with a total area of ​​more than [-] square hectares...Well, there are not many other things in Colorado, but various There are many mountains and canyons, and these lands can't even grow grass, so they are worthless.

The price of 100 square hectares of land is less than 20 US dollars, which is very cheap.If the construction of this server center is completed, the area will be hundreds of thousands of times that of this computer room.

So in comparison, the computer room in front of him is really small. Zuckerberg estimated that it should be a computer room used by a small software affiliated to Jiangnan Group.

"This computer room is a bit cool!" This is Zuckerberg's second feeling. You know, the temperature in the computer room of his own Weibo is basically above 40 degrees.

It's not that Zuckerberg is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. On the contrary, the electricity bill for the air conditioners operating in these computer rooms exceeds 1000 million US dollars a month.

But even so, it is difficult to suppress the heat in the computer room. After all, these servers are all running at full power, and each is equivalent to a heater. It is already a very impressive achievement to be able to control the temperature at about 40 degrees. Yes, for many companies that are reluctant, the temperature of the computer room is basically around 50 degrees, which will seriously affect the life of the server.

This is why in the 90s and the beginning of the 21st century, many schools were reluctant to turn on electric fans, but they had to provide air conditioning for the computer room and build a separate room. At the same time, all students were required to wear shoe covers to enter the computer room.That's because the heat emitted by these computer equipment is too high. If there are a large number of computers in a small space, it will definitely make the room at an unbearable temperature.

But in this computer room, the temperature is frighteningly low, only about 14 degrees, and even need to turn on the heater to warm up, otherwise the cold people will shiver.

What's even more awesome is that the density inside this computer room is terribly high.According to the standard construction process of the current computer room, generally speaking, within the scope of 2 square meters, only equipment with a total power of no more than [-] kilowatts can be placed.

Once this standard is exceeded, the distance between the devices will be too close, the temperatures emitted by the two sides will affect each other, and it will be difficult to dissipate through the cooling system, which will eventually cause the server to shut down due to overheating.

It not only has a fatal impact on the user's service, but also seriously damages the life of the server.I still remember that when Jiangnan Group first built a computer room for OO Network, it was a wish to install dozens of air conditioners in a small room.

But even so, the people working inside could still only wear a pair of shorts, and then they were shirtless and sweating profusely while working inside.At the same time, it is also strictly limited to no more than 20 minutes of working time, and after that, it is necessary to change people to rest to avoid problems such as heatstroke.

If the computer room does not do a good job of heat dissipation, it will lose money and provide poor service.

But this computer room is completely different. The servers are densely arranged together, and the distance between each server is less than one centimeter.

In this 1000-square-meter room, at least more than 1000 devices were placed. This density can be called heaven-defying.

At the same time, each server was wrapped in silver-white metal. Zuckerberg took a closer look and found that he couldn't even find a heat dissipation seam... This is even worse than having the computer rooms lined up so closely together. Zuckerberg was shocked... This is not a computer room, it is clearly an electric oven!
"Mr. Huang, your computer room should not be activated yet!" Zuckerberg couldn't help asking.

"No, this computer room has already been activated. In fact, this computer room currently carries all the data traffic of the entire Facebook Southern Network Center!" Huang He said lightly.

"How is this possible?" Zuckerberg's eyes almost popped out.As the target of his Weibo plagiarism, he has a very detailed research on Facebook.

It is not only before the plagiarism, but also after the plagiarism is still conducting research, and even more intensively. He specially arranged a team of 20 people to be responsible for all-round monitoring of Facebook's every move, and use various means to capture Facebook. Book data, pay attention to various new features of Facebook.

In fact, Zuckerberg probably knows more about Facebook than 99% of Facebook's employees, except for some key statistics.So he is very clear that the current number of Facebook users is actually 1.5 times more than that of Weibo, and the data traffic is ten times that of Weibo.

Because Weibo has not dared to fully open the video function until now, and only dared to open it to some special accounts. After all, once the video traffic enters, it will be called a nuclear bomb attack on the entire Weibo network center.

But Facebook is different. Although the video function of Facebook is still restricted, it is no longer the invitation system that the video function first introduced, but the current application system, and it is very easy.

The opening of Facebook's video function is divided into 5 stages.

The initial stage is the invitation system, that is, only the accounts invited by Facebook can open the video function. The first one to enjoy the invitation is brother Leslie Cheung, and then various celebrities and some famous personal accounts. In the end, only no more than 1 accounts have been invited.

Three months later, the invitation system underwent the first round of expansion, from a small number of invitations before to batch invitations, and almost 1 accounts were invited to activate the video function every day. At this stage, more than 100 accounts were activated. The video function is added, basically covering all the high-profile Blue V accounts on Facebook.

The next step becomes an application system. Initially, all Blue V accounts are eligible to apply.

Later, all accounts with more than 1 fans are eligible to apply.

But now, in step 5, the restriction on fans is simply canceled, and any account can apply. The main reason is that there is no sign that this is a small account in the official review, and there is no violation of the rules, so it can be opened very easily. Video function now.

So now Facebook's video traffic is very exaggerated, more than 80% of the traffic is all kinds of videos, and Zuckerberg is frightened by watching the data collected secretly.

However, Zuckerberg can use Jiangnan Group to produce its own servers, so the cost of servers is very low to explain and comfort himself.But at the same time, he also lamented how much Jiangnan Group had to spend and how much land it bought to be able to build the required data center.

This is also the reason why Zuckerberg directly purchased a large amount of land to build his own data center. Zuckerberg wanted to make his Weibo have the same huge video function as Facebook. After all, he is a great American company. How can it be inferior to a Chinese company.

But now, you tell Zuckerberg that this small 1000-square-meter room bears a quarter of Facebook’s data traffic... Even if Zuckerberg is cultivated into a fairy, I’m afraid he won’t believe it this kind of thing.

With such a huge amount of data, even if the most powerful traffic processing server in the world is used, at least 5000 servers are needed, and there are only 2000 servers here!

Regardless of the quantity, such a huge amount of data requires an astonishing amount of power consumption, and the temperature generated by this can melt all the plastic plates here.

But now the temperature in the room is less than 20 degrees, how is this possible?

"The server model here is the latest five-element data processing server unit launched by Jiangnan. The data that each server unit can process is five times that of the best IBM server in the world!" Boss Huang said lightly.

"Five times! This is absolutely impossible!" Zuckerberg is about to explode. This is not just any data, but five times the data difference. Finally, he throws IBM's face into the cesspit, and then completely The crazy data that monopolizes the entire market!

If IBM knew, it might not be that IBM would directly apply for an anti-monopoly investigation against Jiangnan Group.
