    even when the vehicle come to deliver it they got two cars in front and back wow and then when they parking for a second they go call from U I think they say from New York or somewhere really they get phone call and then from Ireland while you popping so welcome back to the channel guys today we’re here in slau taking a look at this one which looks to me like a brand new data center that’s still under construction got two vehicle lock security gates this [Music] time and the sign on this gate says great Brothers why we’re not focusing what’s going on principal contractor rate Brothers project name slow lto huh is there any reason is there any reason you entertainment entertainment for YouTube yeah YouTu yeah yeah everywhere Facebook YouTube Tik Tok good why you want to be on it what was that you want to be on it clip fine is that you oh is that you andum you got a smile on your face a you you work for Brothers we are a Sub sub for them we they had a main contractor so we are a sub just which part are you doing Logistics any delivery security oh your security no I’m a logistic manager oh right okay anything coming in people coming in you had anyone doing videos of this place yet no normally they not allow in there in the inside I can inside I can walk in inside in look watch this oh work you going to make me in trouble let me record you then I wouldn’t step over the the line there my friend inside obviously F it’s free to do whatever you want well I do go in but I don’t personally go in I send the Drone in this one not in the building just um just around the back do whatever you want don’t say that cuz I’m on camera we don’t we we we we are not they not allowed it they got their own Security even for ourself yeah you can’t go in we can’t go in cuz they already started putting his Amazon the servers the servers Center for who is a Amazon Amazon oh Amazon data server yeah right very very high security then yeah that’s right yeah yeah you know they got even 20 security every for every exit right inside 20 Security in total inside there right yeah they have so much money why do they need so many offices in a data center every floor we have three floor yeah so one floor for One servers two three they different sections so all these offices offices one for the third floor one for the second one for the Level One servers don’t really need people there doing stuff do they office controlling a lot of things really oh yeah is it like technical support as well for people General they doing General everything so when you ring up Amazon for help is it here a different place they go different place including America but it could be here it could be here because of the number of offices you’ve got you’ve got to be doing something hav they got another one as well thinking U Haze they start building there sometimes data centers right they’re quite big but then you just see free cars in the car park right CU you don’t need to do no you just need to look at the um the monitoring screen yeah if something goes wrong then you may need to do something yeah but it don’t need all these offices does it yeah well a lot a lot lot lot of things they have maybe they might have different departments yes I think so on calls or this and that this and that stuff more admin going on here it’s not just a data center it’s going to be multi-use but this one go the biggest Center they have you see up here you’ve got a um plane planing for the uh what is it football table football thing yeah they’ve got lots of nice they’ve got pool table a lot that the lunch when they go to lunch that each floor they go their own camping their own toilet swimming pool no really sauna no jacuzzi none of them none of them so you you can’t bring your swimming Mark Mark ter day next door there’s building one now what for Amazon again that one is iron iron m Iron Mountain ah okay I’ll have a look yeah um this one’s not operational yet is it no yet we just finishing phase one so they started now the all the the staff what they needed so we go first two and three we starting out finish by December December fully fully oh all of them is that you see before you leave will you be able to go in and have a good look at the final result all the servers and everything that would be nice for you to see the end result going to be fuing out H going to be hard I don’t think kind yeah but wouldn’t you like to see the end result that you’ve been working so hard on they know basically once we hand over it when the the server is coming we are not even allowed it there is different departments yeah even when the vehicle come to deliver it they got two cars in front and back wow and then when they parking for a second they go caught from U I think they say from New York or somewhere really they get phone call and then from airand while you poing and that was the servers yeah so every time they deliver the servers here they’ve got such tight security yes and people watching the movement and if it stops yeah why you stop it why you stop New York yeah so they’re not really going to let you back in then to see it no once we hand over it yeah yeah yeah so we we normally 7 to 6 yeah now to start our delivery in for Phase 23 until 1:00 we can’t get it in right we can’t get it in well H the customer is that important they’re that powerful oh yeah cuz they they need to imagine you data is here yeah yeah they don’t want someone know it the system off it yeah that’s why they start protecting from the beginning yeah yeah yeah which is that’s good isn’t it they know what they’re doing don’t they oh yeah right I’ll go back down there my friend I can fly the Drone from down there but few picking from there so that is a beginning you got good viewing so in a couple of month when you came you would see even that other building that’s that Center T CL I saw that yeah CL that one they just literally build yeah that one a beginning so why slow so many data centers here is all over all over yeah more like 20 5 yeah we wondering as well maybe that’s a good area no public in here have a lovely day nice one mate thank you well that’s what you want a it just some lighthearted bter about what’s going on and what the place does Amazon Data Center and he is not allowed back in he built the place but it’s not allowed back in so yes from here we’ll get David up on we’ll see what this place looks like from the B so as always we’ve checked on drone assist there are no flight restrictions in the area at all the brand new Amazon data center here in slau let’s have a look at you then shall we take off so there we have it two vehicle locks a data center apparently being built next door we might have a look at that next strong wind warning so I’ll just come down a little bit and let’s get over what do we have that’s [Music] different Lots going on on the roof on these data centers is there they have to keep the place cool and they have to have backups of everything even these things the generators so that if the power cuts off they will kick in solar panels Stacks and stacks of them finally on a data center we’ve been saying on previous videos that they’ve not got solar panels and look the sun’s beating down today it’s generating quite a bit today isn’t it Max altitude reach so there we are up at 120 M what does it look like E look at that fantastic so we’ll just see if there’s anything at the back where the sight ends now no they’ve just got silos in case the place catches fire and they need to turn on the sprinklers that will be a very last resort that will imagine all the water going down on the servers then they have this little area here where someone’s just sitting down having a rest so security are now paying the Drone some attention and he seems to be on the phone no photography on the door there look it’s a bit windy I’m only at 7 m and it’s blowing the Drone around but that will do that will do we get the gist a little bit more than a data center here I believe Landing [Music] [Music] he for [Music] [Music] [Music] work [Music] [Music] so we’re getting a demonstration now of how to gain entry it didn’t look very easy did it having to get out the vehicle like that and once again entering your code and presenting your security pass [Music] and then you make it into the vehicle [Music] [Music] lock and then you have to put your code in again it won’t just automatically open just in case wow that is a bit over the top if you ask me code in security pass presented and then the next Gates will open I don’t think you can get any more secure than that [Music] so security did definitely spot the Drone I know definitely seen me filming but guess what they’ve remained inside their boundary that is a result the gentleman down there that we did speak to in charge of logistics it was absolutely fine as well so just goes to show I know reaction isn’t always required it isn’t always guaranteed some places can behave professionally and when they do the photographer and the Drone flyer love it they love it so we’ll just hide a key ring and then we’ll move on [Music] [Music] taking a photo of his luck sneaky sneaky I was just saying how he was doing really good as well so shall we get a copy of it m excuse me excuse me we need a copy of that don’t we that is for sure control can yeah I just need a copy of the photo that was taken by the security guard I’m not sure speaking put me through to the gate house down at the gate please [Music] can help yeah security guards was taking a photo of me so I just need a copy of it I don’t go anything like that I’m afraid yeah I’ve just seen it it’s all on camera my friend if you don’t comply with gdpr then the company might get a fine so I’ll ask you again how do I get a copy of the photo any photos taken will be deleted no it’s not good enough my friend it needs to be kept for 30 days I need to get a copy of it he he decided to take a photo of me and I have a right to a copy of it so there’s nothing I can do to help you you can you can go to the person who took the photo and tell him do apologize I’m going to have to end this phone call I’ll just press the button again so we’ll annoy on for a moment we’ll just keep the phone ringing if they think they can come out and start taking photos of members of the public without giving them the option to have a copy then they just deserve a few rings for a moment don’t they oh yes we’re just saying how well they were doing as well I don’t mind him taking the photo but just allow us a copy of it our personal information is on the photo so we’re entitled to a copy of it aren’t we under a subject access request we don’t make the rules so I think that’s enough that’s enough winding them up today I think we’ll leave them alone now I’ll show you where the uh the key ring is located so the location of the DJ audits key ring on this video is just there uh where is it oh yeah just there if you are one of the first people to watch a video and you do want a key ring good luck with that and before we go we’ll just press the button a few more times if you don’t give us a method of getting a copy then surely you’re going to expect something back AR you you’re going to expect something H you yeah you’re messing me around I’ll mess you around [Music] but that’s it I’ve wasted enough time on these clowns well the clown that took the photo anyway if you have enjoyed that video do give it a thumbs up for me and I’ll see you on the next one guys bye-bye for now [Music]

    1. , storing 1 GB of shared data on a cloud server, for example, has a carbon footprint of around 15g CO2eq per year in the uk which is more than a trip of 100m in a car. data storage centers contributes to 7% of global carbon emissions.more than petrol cars more data centers the more pollution then theres the concrete CO2 emissions; between 4-8% of total global CO2 emissions come from concrete.

    2. Amazon S3 etc has really taken off for a lot of companies because they don't have to manage their own hardware including UPS solutions and consumables like batteries.

      I'm 50/50 about cloud infrastructure, it has benefits including not having to manage hardware and not having downtime when moving etc but is a PITA to transfer providers and means you're basically locked in to the eco-system. We're semi locked into the Microsoft arena for our personal use with Business level subscriptions for several reasons including security.

    3. It's not Amazon, it's Iron Mountain (They might lease it Amazon Web Services). I've only just realised this is where Logicalis old offices and Data Centre was, having previously visited many years ago and that wasn't even that old.

    4. At the end of each video, would love a segment "Ask the Auditor" where you answer viewer questions…. what do you think?? (Obviously need to be a member )

    5. I thought you said you always finnish off with the drone footage. So why are you hanging about? Just to get more attention for content. 🙄🙄🙄

    6. The reason there they're all in one area is there's an Internet exchange, Equinix, (called a peering exchange) in Slough, on the same road. This exchange is the way they connect, essentially directly, to the backbone of the really high speed Internet. Them all being in the same location has to do with getting similar speed and performance to competitors since distance = time even as small a performance gain it is. Then there will also be suitable power available / cost / reliability of power from the power utility and land cost will be acceptable to these companies.

    7. They were doing so well. But it seems theres always one. Then it spreads. Sneakily taking a photo. Then getting cought out. Then saying they dont know what your talking about. Then they cant help you dont know what your talking about and are ending the interaction. Really? That didnt just happen did it?. How to show the people that work for you are complete ass holes. Dont know the law dont know the rules dont know their job and couldnt care less. They have money or work for money and can do what they want. You cant do anything about it and they know it. Makes me sick. They did so well till that point i was actually impressed. Until mr pissing important decided to try and be the man and interfer. And it went tits up and down hill from there. Amazon is this really the kind of people you want working for you and representing you? Id think twice about who i hired if i were you.
