Facebook partners Emerson for designing data centre in Sweden

Mumbai: Emerson Network Power said it is working with social networking giant Facebook to design and deploy its second data center building in Lulea, Sweden.

Lulea 2 will be the pilot for Facebook's new 'rapid deployment data center' (RDDC), which was designed and developed in collaboration with Emerson Network Power's data center design team. It said in a statement. Facebook's RDDC incorporates a number of modular design elements, including pre-fabricated materials and on-site assembly, to enable an increase in the speed of deployment and reduction in material use.
