    6. News of Facebook's Raining inside its Data Center leaks 2 years after the event

      When I was at the first Open Compute Summit I was sitting with a data center executive and when he heard about the air misters used in Facebook's 1st data center he said they were going to run into problems.  We don't hear about misters in Facebook's data center any more and news has leaked out what may have helped convince putting humidity into the data center has issues. The Register broke the news in an interview with Facebook VP Jay Parikh. Facebook's first data center ran into problems of a distinctly ironic nature when a literal cloud formed in the IT room and started to rain on servers. Though Facebook has previously hinted at this via references to a "humidity event" within its first data center in Prineville, Oregon, the social network's infrastructure king Jay Parikh told The Reg on Thursday that, for a ...

Jon Koomey,a research fellow at Stanford University, says there are at least 1.6 billion devices connected to the Internet, including approximately 30,000 servers. (Photo: Rich Miller) Rich Miller's reporting is so impeccable it is funny to see an oops moment.

      Amazon’s cloud is how big again?

      Trying to assess just how enormous Amazon Web Services is has become a sort of parlor game among techies. Counting servers is as good a way as any to get a grip on its size and the latest to take a stab at that is Netcraft, which pegs the numbers of AWS web-facing servers at 158,000, up from 118,000 such servers in September, 2012. (Hat tip to Data Center Knowledge for pointing out this interesting research.)
