Facebook: Forest City Data Center

The Facebook Forest City Data Center, situated at 480 Social Circle, Forest City, NC, USA, is a substantial facility spanning 740,000 square feet. It includes 300,000 square feet of raised floor space, specifically designed for colocation services. While power specifics for this location are not available, it’s worth noting that ten other data center locations are identified within a 50-mile radius. This facility has achieved several key certifications, including ISO 27001, SOC 3, and LEED, underscoring its commitment to information security, operational controls, and environmental sustainability.
Forest City, a town of approximately 7,500 residents, has transformed into a major hub for Facebook, becoming a unique example of a rural community with more servers than people. This significant shift is due to Facebook’s construction of two massive data centers, essential for powering its expanding Internet infrastructure. These two-story structures are each incredibly spacious, spanning over 300,000 square feet. In stark contrast to the surrounding modest local businesses, these enormous server farms present a striking visual, resembling aircraft carriers that have landed amidst the landscape.
