It's actually a shipping container packed with computers and about 5 petabytes of storage. The Bing Map team processes its maps and redestributes them to other datacenters using this datacenter.

The Weight of the Cloud
Description
A cinematic documentary-style visual series exploring the hidden physical world behind digital infrastructure. Across storm-darkened rural landscapes, muddy construction sites, substations, server halls, delivery routes, public meetings, and community spaces, the images portray the tension between technological progress and the human, environmental, and territorial realities that support it.
The collection contrasts the clean precision of data centers, power grids, pipelines, and industrial architecture with the rough emotional texture of workers, landowners, engineers, citizens, and younger generations facing a future shaped by energy demand and digital expansion. Dramatic skies, wet roads, heavy machinery, orange safety clothing, reflective surfaces, and muted industrial tones create a realistic atmosphere of uncertainty, scale, and transformation.
This is a visual essay about the cloud becoming visible: not as something weightless, but as concrete, steel, electricity, land, labor, logistics, and public debate.
The images have been generated by Artificial Intelligence.
Here we see Linn setting up Brendan's new firewall. Man, a datacenter is a funky place: many long rows of humming cabinets containing hundreds and hundreds of servers. Yes folks, THIS is the Internet.
The 800 square meters data center room seen from the south. In the foreground a new XIV IBM Gen3. At the bottom there is a 1.85 m tall person. (Gli 800mq della sala del data center visti da sud. In primo piano un nuovo XIV IBM Gen3. In fondo uno dei nostri tecnici alto, 1,85 mt)
These are the connections between the switches and patch panels *after* they were cleaned up considerably.. It doesn't look too much different today (3.5 yrs later.. ) but most of the connections are defunct as our production systems have moved to a real data center.
One of the funniest spots on the real estate tour was a place with zero air conditioning, cubes stacked tight, and this joyus reminder of Joi's first closet server room. The guy said there was a certain temptation while working on things (notice the angle of the monitor).
