We continue to talk about how the data center was built, built and finally built. In this post - photos from the middle stage of construction, when the data center begins to take shape. Unfortunately, there are not so many photographs as it could have been - as usual, in the most tense moments you don’t even remember about it. But, the more pleasant is the contrast between how it was and how it became. In further posts we will not publish so many photos and move on to the most interesting - the stories of direct participants. Enjoy watching!
