Facebook to build data centre near the Arctic Circle

Facebook to build data centre near the Arctic Circle

The city is located near the Arctic Circle and will be home to Facebook's first European data centre. Lulea's sub-arctic climate will enable the company to take advantage of natural cooling resources with a climate that has short, mild summers and long, cold winters. The data centre will have a floor space of more than 900,000 square feet, which exceeds the size of 15 football fields. According to the town of Lulea, the facility will be built in three phases and eventually consist of three separate server rooms that are designed to handle a substantial portion of Facebook's data traffic.
