Kevin O’Leary Pleads With Locals to Allow His Massive Data Center If He Shrinks It Down to the Size of One Manhattan

I still haven’t forgiven him for The Learning Company and Brøderbund.
Don't ask what a data center can do for you, ask what YOU can do for a data center
Which is roughly
10971 football fields
3933333 parking spots
14640199 king size beds
5624404194 iPhone 12s or
7994579946 chocolate bars

Are we talking regular parking spots, or Costco parking spots? And what kind of chocolate bars?
Regular and Almond Joy.
Between two and three trillion.
The biggest standard rack I could find has the dimensions of 19 inches wide, 90 inches tall, 47.2 inches deep. Height isn't super important for floor usage, so a rack takes up 896.8 square inches or 74.73 6.2 square feet. A 4U server chassis holds roughly 10 drives, and can fit 12 chasses in a 48U rack.
This datacenter can hold a maximum of 8,580,264 130,398,967 racks holding 1,029,631,680 15,647,876,040 drives. Assuming 4TiB drives, that's a total of 3.84 68.82 Zebibytes of data. The entirety of the Internet has roughly 148.23 Zebibytes.
This new, smaller datacenter will hold approximately 2.56% 46.43% of all the data in the world.
Edited for accuracy
No you're totally right, I didn't do math correctly. It's way bigger
There are 4U server cases that hold 77 3.5” hard drives, and you could rig up empty cases with NAND of various forms and get even more density, if you could keep cooling under control.
Also, most datacenters will not use 4TB disks, you would use giant 20TB enterprise disks (for spinning rust) or 8TB enterprise SAS or nVME drives. You will lose some of that capacity to redundancy though, as RAID and region replication takes place.
So total capacity, minus disk first losses (so *0.85 as a rule of thumb) and then divide by the redundancy (probably / 3)
Realistically there's going to be a mixture of cpu compute, gpu compute, storage, and general purpose. I feel like 10 drives per chassis is a decent average, and I intentionally used 4TiB to illustrate this truly absurd proposal.
No
I hope he loses his wealth for this.
Sure, but he wont. That's not how money works for these people.
Live in the data center you fucking cock
How much land could the public possibly need? You already have one Manhattan!
Utah doesn't, though, and that's where he's proposing building it.
I'm actually slightly surprised that there's still any part of Utah and non-Vegas Strip Nevada NOT owned by the Mormon church left tbh..
Utah has lost more than you think, they just have the whole system rigged to their advantage and a good chunk of the populace willing to do anything for them. I wish they all realized how much these Christians in this movement hate them though. If they actually were to succeed in bringing themselves of any other targets they would go after Mormons instantly
I hope the Mormons tear him limb from limb
I hope he has a long healthy life being poor enough to barely survive.
Eat shit, Kevin.
