Tour the Original Microsoft Azure Datacenter

Ever wonder what one of Microsoft's Azure datacenters look like? Ever wanted someone to give you a tour?

Well, now you can get both whenever you want. Microsoft has developed a web site that walks you through a voice-guided, interactive tour of its Quincy, Washington location.  And, you get to choose and customize your experience on the fly. Click on informational buttons and hotspots, listen to your tour guide give a brief introduction for each room, monitor the temperature for each room on the sensory bar, and even click to hear recordings of the surroundings.

Topics on the tour:

  • The Lobby

  • Server room

  • Cooling strategy

  • Power considerations

  • Modular design
