Facebook对外公布在美国本土之外建立了第一座数据中心,位于瑞典北部城镇吕勒奥。这座数据中心也是其在欧洲建立的最大的一个数据中心。Facebook发言人介绍,自1961年以来,吕勒奥地区的气温全年高于三十度的时间不超过二十四小时,选择在这里建造数据中心可以有效地减少一大笔散热方面的支出。此外,吕勒奥河能为该地区提供充足的电力支持,Facebook无需为建立数据中心而重新设计电力供应系统。 Facebook announced the establishment of its first data center outside the United States, in the town of Luleå in northern Sweden. This data center is also its largest data center in Europe. According to a Facebook spokesman, temperatures in the Luleå region have not exceeded 24 hours since 1961. Choosing to build a data center here can effectively reduce a significant amount of cooling costs. In addition, the Lulea River provides enough electricity to power the area, and Facebook does not have to redesign the power supply system to create a data center.
