Ireland has been Facebook\u2019s international headquarters since 2009 but the Clonee facility will be Facebook\u2019s first data center in Ireland, and their second in Europe following Lule\u00e5 in Sweden, which opened in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The facility will become part of the infrastructure behind networks like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and more. Clonee will feature the latest technology, making it one of the most advanced, efficient and sustainable data centers in the world, Tom Furlong, Facebook&#8217;s vice president for site operations, wrote ina blog post.<\/p>\n<p>He also wrote, according to VentureBeat, that this data center should be handling web traffic and Facebook\u2019s own computing needs by late 2017 or early 2018. VentureBeat also reported that Facebook will be purchasing the site for $1 billion.<\/p>\n<p>All the racks, servers, and other components have been designed and built from scratch as part of the Open Compute Project, an industry-wide coalition of companies dedicated to creating energy- and cost-efficient infrastructure solutions and sharing them as open source. In addition, the data center will be powered by 100 percent renewable energy, thanks to Ireland\u2019s robust wind resources. This will help the company reach their goal of powering 50 percent of their infrastructure with clean and renewable energy by the end of 2018.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Facebook<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clonee, County Meath in Ireland will be the site for Facebook&#8217;s newest data center, its second in Europe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":1004135531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21755,21808,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004135525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-centers","category-featured","category-international"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
