UK government overrules local council’s datacenter refusal on Green Belt land

Mr Dogshit

Re: Why not brownfield?

You ideally want to locate a data centre so that it can be fed from two separate electrical supplies, from different providers, coming into the site from opposite sides. There are certain places where that's geographically doable, others less so.

If you just have one electricity supply, then you're got a Tier 1 data centre. Not a lot of point to that due to that single point of failure.

Mr Dogshit

Re: visual impact?

Ideally you want your data centre to be above the water table. That way, a local flood won't fill your building with H2O.

Re: God Mode

And you're both missing the point.

The point is not to take a child's toy and take the fun out of it. The point is to take a standardised set of components and get software to come up with a design that isn't going to fall apart / fall over. And this is clearly the first iteration of the thing. The end goal is something much more complex.
