Thanks Ed and Jordan!
Thank you, Sal, Manny, Brad, Ed, and Jordan!! GREAT VIDEO CHUCK!
Worked in AWS data centers for 6 months and seeing this video is a rollercoaster of memory for me. Thanks to everyone working in the data centers and keeping the internet up and running.
I never realized how much engineering goes into data centers—the way thousands of servers work in perfect sync, the redundancy systems that keep everything online 24/7, and those insane cooling mechanisms to prevent overheating… it’s like watching the heartbeat of the internet in action. Loved how you explained not just the tech, but also the logistics of power management, network optimization, and security. Honestly, data centers are like high-tech cities for servers, and your vlog made it both understandable and super entertaining. Can’t wait to see more behind-the-scenes tech explorations like this

Thanks to everyone at Equinix! As someone who works as a Senior Network Engineer in a DC, I always appreciate getting to see what others are doing in the space!
Also, one thing they didn't mention, raised floors can have a benefit of flood prevention.
0:10 when I saw that building my jaw dropped, I see that building all the time in Dallas
Thanks, Ed and Jordan, Sal , Manny, Brad , Chuck(Himself) and all the nameless faceless people at Equinix
7:15 This is the tech equivalent to blue collar workers talking smack with their supervisor about the apprentice.
