Irish Eyes Are Smiling as Facebook Confirms Clonee Data Center

Vice president of infrastructure Tom Furlong announced in a Newsroom post that construction was already underway on the company’s sixth overall data center and second in Europe.

Reports surfaced last June that Clonee in Ireland’s County Meath would be the site for Facebook’s newest data center, and the social network made it official Sunday.

Vice president of infrastructure Tom Furlong announced in a Newsroom post that construction was already underway on the company’s sixth overall data center and second in Europe, adding that the facility will be 100 percent powered by renewable energy, and pointing out that Ireland is also the home of Facebook’s international headquarters.
