Data Center Tour & Technical Deep Dive into the Power, Data and Cooling Infrastructure!
Channel: Lawrence Systems
Date: 2024-01-29

My good friends at Deft gave me a guided tour of one of their datacenters where I learned about the power, cooling, and backup systems in place. I even got a technical deep dive into how the centrifugal (flywheel) UPS works along with many other details that keep operations running smoothly.

This isn’t sponsored content; it’s just us having fun and geeking out over the amazing systems in place. Join us and let us know if there are other datacenters or other types of facilities you’d like to see in the comments!
