What a Data Center Is (the Vendor's Pitch)

Straight from a hyperscaler: how the industry describes what it wants to build near you.

Know the pitch better than the salesperson. This is a major hyperscaler's own explainer of what a data center is and how it is run — the racks, the power, the cooling, the redundancy — in the industry's own words. We link it as a primer, not an endorsement, and claim no affiliation with any operator.

When a campus is on your council's agenda, read what is being sold before the meeting. The vendor's framing, compared against where the power and water actually go, practically writes your public comment for you.
