I'm confused because if I assume each rack takes up 1 square meter I get a much smaller footprint: around 12 hectares or 17 football fields.
And that assumes that the installation is one floor. I don't know much about data centers but I would have thought they'd stack them a bit.
Am I the only person who had to look up how big Monaco was?
