im coming in from the construction side, im thinking major cities and the cost to make them whether union or non union contractors. Also I am trying to wrap my head around the business itself, im familiar with reading all kinds of businesses (through annual reports). BIG thanks for putting this together and educating the people.

[@millecanis]

Thanks for explaining all the terms in the data center industry.. I am start sharing about data center facility after watching your content

[@mdtaylor2274]

I even liked the banter at the end of the video. Thanks for the education fellas.

It is not 1024. That's for bits and bytes in storage capacity, expressed as powers of 2. For energy it is simply 1000. So 1MW = 1000kW not 1024kW

[@datacenterHawk]

The more you know! Thanks for the fact check!

[@sungyelcho3810]

I am new to this space and want to ask you couple of questions (since these were not dealt on this clip); 1. What’s the difference between powered shell vs turnkey datacenter? Does the latter have servers and equipments ready for tenants? 2. What,s the difference between built to suit and turnkey datacenter? 3. In terms of investment, bts datacenter with long leased credit tenant seems to be attractive. What are some of the downsides investing in these assets?

[@jasonleewkd]

great info that's industry relevant. keep it that way

It would be helpful to simply state the definition of kW. 1000 watts. MW 1 million watts.

[@datacenterHawk]

Great point! Thanks for covering that!

[@sal00t]

Don't forget 1mW, which is 0.001 watts.

[@assaadassaad7614]

Thank you for providing this valuable information ... Can you explain to me the Tiering Levels, and what is the difference in obtaining the certificate from Uptime and TIA?

[@datacenterHawk]

Thanks for the question! We'll add this question to our list of topics to consider for future videos!

[@datacenterHawk]

Wanted to let you know that we recently published a new video where we addressed this question you had. Be sure to check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4Kwi4BjZcyrbrc

[@sjsj1512]

i am from india , how can i contact u , for suggestions on installing data centre

[@velo1337]

how do you guys calculate the watts? is it like 4 hosts (4ue) = 1kW? or is it you get 1kW and can plug in as many hosts as you want as long as you peak below 1kW in total? or am i totally missunderstand your measurements? my thinking behind it is that space also costs money not only how many kW's you use

[@jasonleewkd]

so when a tenant pays $100 per kw, what is he exactly paying for? In CRE, the tenant is paying for the right to use the space, then there's expenses that's added on (the +). In the DC industry, is that $100 per kw for electricity, security, cleaning, access to a fiber provider, security etc?

[@datacenterHawk]

Great question! We'll be sure to address this in a future episode! Thanks for the comment!

[@planomike00]

JL - in the DC industry, customers are paying for the right to access power, space and cooling. Small, retail deals may include the actual power used in the $/kW/mo, but most larger deals (50kW+) will have a separate metered charge for power. Then, of course, internet connectivity and any other services are extra.

[@Robert_Kawalec]

Thanks! super informative.

[@justinmaxwell4199]

Watts don’t increase in multiples of two like storage capacity or other “binary” components or functions im pretty sure….. a mega watt is simply 1,000 watts

[@johnkorduba9019]

Under Compliance Acronyms, I think you mean "gist" not "jest".

[@datacenterHawk]

Good eye! Thanks! It has been corrected now.

[@rebeccapatterson1742]

So milli (m), kilo (k) and mega(M) watts are all metric terms and they are exactly 1000x not 1024 as stated at 5:14 since watts are a fundametal unit of physics and not anything to do with computer language. So against my better judgement here I am correcting someone on the internet - lol! Will I regret this?

[@datacenterHawk]

Hah yes, thank you for pointing that out! We've since realized the error in our ways, and have given Mike (the guy who said it in the video) a stern talking to about it. But we do appreciate the feedback! Glad you've found our content, for the most part, to be interesting!

Quit the Real estate. I came from Trucking and NEVER brought trucking industry terms into the tech mix

[@srthorat6547]

Guys your videos are good. But try to keep them short not more than 15 - 20 mins. It's a friendly suggestion.

[@datacenterHawk]

Thanks for the feedback Sameer! We appreciate your opinions and helping us produce better videos!

[@srthorat6547]

@@datacenterHawk You are welcome. Learning a lot from you.

[@AsiaHerbs]

It's 1000KW not 1024.

[@Ohaodh2]

Terms like Expanding the carbon footprint, noise pollution, environmental pollution, ecological damage ….

[@kgaugeloselepe370]

the guest doesnt understand these term...
