A fire broke On Thursday morning at a data center in Hillsboro, Oregon leased by Elon Musk’s X, forced to an extended response from emergency staff, according to several sources, who spoke to Wired. Sources required oblivion as they are not authorized to speak publicly about the company.
According to Pisth Pick, spokesman for Hillsborough Fire and Rescue, Firefighters arrived at Hillsborough Technology Park to a suburb of Portland at 10:21 am. They found a room with a battery, which was considered involved in the fire. The pitch said that the fire was not spread to other parts of the building, but said that the room of the question was heavy with smoke. At the time of writing, the crew was still on the spot.
The X did not immediately respond to the request of the comment from Wired. It cannot be learned whether the server operations in the data center were affected by the event.
Before Elon Musk bought X, the company had three data centers in Sacramento, Portland and Atlanta. Ensure that if a data center goes down, the traffic can be transferred to the other two – and can be divided so that no data center is overwhelmed.
Around 2022 on the eve of Christmas, Musk shut down the X data center in Sacramento in an attempt to cut the cost. The company experienced a big outage in view of the shutdown. In the next six months, the company took over 2,573 server racks to data centers in Portland and Atlanta, according to internal documents, according to internal documents. In the Portland region, X leases space from a building which is connected to digital realty, one of the world’s largest developers data centers. Digital realty provides different levels of operating support on its sites, which may have one or more tenants. It is not clear whether X shares this feature with other companies. Digital Realty did not immediately respond to the remarks request.
The battery often serves as a backup power source at data centers. But lithium-ion can be unstable in varieties, and issues with apkip and insufficient security measures have contributed to expensive blasts at data centers around the world. Pitch, spokesperson of the Hillsboro Fire Department, says he could not remember any previous battery fire in many other data centers in the Oregon region.
XAI, the original XAI of the X, has criticized in recent months for rapid expansion of power capacity in a new data center in Memphis, which was opened last year. The feature, which was designed at a breakcane speed to train Kasturi named Kolosus, XAI, and other AI tools. The company installed more than 30 methane-powered gas turbines, but because turbines are temporary, there is no need for a federal permit for pollution control, which appears to take advantage of a flaws in the Clean Air Act. This feature has widely criticized the surrounding black and brown communities, already aware of large amounts of air pollution and industrial emissions from other facilities in the region.
