Microsoft Chicago Data Center Container Bay

Microsoft shares a rare behind-the-scenes look at its Chicago data center as high-density computing containers full of 1800 to 2500 servers each are installed into the data center’s massive container bay. The facility first opened for business on September 1, 2009, and is still ramping up to meet customer demand for Microsoft cloud services.

Wow, that looks really cool guys! I'd love to see more videos about these beasts!
Video worked great for me.
@jbmetrics Well, don't use it then! I thought the video was interesting.
Anyone reading this: Watch the 'Microsoft Generation 4 Data Centers' video next and you'll see why these data centres are so cool. They can roll them out reeeeeeally quick.

Silverlight slow.  No audio.  Video content meaningless.  This was not impressive, it was embarrassing.  Show a working facility in full production like Amazon S3 and I will be impressed.  Unfortunately this video makes me concerned that Azure is not ready for prime time.  Will my clients be paying for a Microsoft which shows videos like this?  We need a better video.  You might want to remove this one too.

Twigg and SamSam -- try the "Watch as WMV" link above to bypass Silverlight.

Dear Microsoft. This video is not displaying at all. I have Silverlight installed. I've tried both FireFox 3.5 and IE 8. The video is a black screen with a play button when i MouseOver.  I'm writing from work where there is high security however I can easily view YouTube videos.

Dear microsoft,
i don't want to install silverligth on my FF browser, but how i can view this video? Maybe you can use some open audio-video-standard like Theora and Vorbis to let me see this video without install anythink else...
Thank you
