In today’s digital world, it’s important to have the infrastructure in place that can support our data center technology, especially as we begin to increasingly rely on that technology’s success. That’s why server farms are so crucial and play a vital role in various industries. Server farms refer to the housing of multiple servers and networking equipment, while data centers are the facilities housing server farms, as well as its infrastructure. There are over 6,000 data centers around the world that vary in size, and they help significantly with efficiently storing data.

Server farms require high-performance sheet metal components and assemblies, so precision is key here. That’s why it is so vital to partner with a sheet metal manufacturing company who understands the value of accuracy in data center infrastructure. Let’s take a closer look at the purpose of server farms and how Vander-Bend can craft precision components that exceed performance expectations.

Exploring Server Farms

Server farms are a collection of computer servers working together in order to host websites or applications, or for cloud services, data processing, and artificial intelligence (AI) in data centers. Basic components of server farms include servers, networking equipment, cooling systems, power distribution products, and more. Server farms can range from a few small rooms to hundreds of thousands of square feet and play a crucial role in data center technology.

The purpose of these facilities is to help handle massive internet traffic and support storage needs. Server farms power different sites, applications, and social media, and enable real-time communication, which is vital for financial institutions and other key industries. These sites require a lot of electricity, reliable infrastructure, and moderate climates for cooling efficiency. One common U.S.-based location for server farms is Northern Virginia.
