Twitter data center knocked out by extreme heat in California

A video captured at 9am on Monday morning shows Twitter’s data center in San Jose, California, had been knocked out by extreme heat.

The heatwave was so intense that air-conditioning units failed inside the facility, killing power and cutting power in other parts of the facility.

As the temperature peaked to 106.7F, the video captures workers inside the facility removing air conditioning units from their equipment racks and throwing them away. The workers continue to work regardless of the extreme heat.

Twitter’s data server, located in Oakland, was not damaged by the extreme heat, but its engineers did begin to take more precautions, according to an engineer from the company, who was not authorized to comment on company procedures.
