WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.080
hey there well been a little while I came all the way to France to check out

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.500
ovh Cloud not actually for Floatplane Reasons I'm here because Shadow is

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:13.980
sponsoring this video so that we can check out their power upgrade servers

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:17.640
they're super powerful they're super cool they have eight gpus all this fun

00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:21.359
stuff we're gonna build one we're gonna see how they build 80 000 computers a

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.400
year and then we're gonna go to their Data Center and see how it's all implemented powered cooled everything

00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:29.840
it's going to be awesome there's a lot to see come along with me

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.399
you may have heard of Shadow before but just in case you haven't they're a super

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:48.000
easy to access high performance personal computer in the cloud what does that

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:51.360
mean for you it means that you can extend the lifespan of your various

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.079
devices if you have some junky old laptop or desktop or whatever you can

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:59.340
move the heavy compute that you might need to do in your day-to-day to the

00:00:56.940 --> 00:01:02.399
cloud and Shadow can handle it Shadow can also be used in a business

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.380
environment such as deploying multiple Shadow PCS for those working remote or

00:01:04.979 --> 00:01:12.960
configuring Shadow PCS with up to an RTX 6000 GPU for high workloads it's not

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:16.680
just performance tasks either in regards to like standard old school research

00:01:14.939 --> 00:01:20.580
stuff you can play games too you can do the fun things on your dad's old Smart

00:01:18.540 --> 00:01:25.200
TV or your phone or your VR device or your Raspberry Pi or whatever the heck

00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:28.740
you want you can run 1080p games at 240

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.500
FPS and 4K games at 60fps let's go see

00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:36.840
how it's done every server for ovh's European market and Asian Pacific Market

00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:39.420
is made here Shadow or not and every

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:43.799
single component for ovh worldwide is made here as well including ovh's

00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:48.720
version of an all-in-one water cooler which can apparently cool an entire row

00:01:46.259 --> 00:01:52.979
of racks of servers I don't know the exact capacity but it's safe to say it's

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:57.420
solar this facility processes through several hundred million dollars worth of

00:01:55.259 --> 00:02:03.960
small components every year including this huge pile of trays and trays and

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:06.899
trays of RAM they also have gpus CPUs

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:11.160
and lots of copper piping because ovh uses water cooling in all of their

00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:14.819
facilities from here it goes into the rest of the facility where they build

00:02:12.540 --> 00:02:20.220
everything test everything do r d etc etc once it's done it comes back here

00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:22.620
actually just across the way where we

00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:27.120
can see all these cool signs where they line everything up it goes onto trucks

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:30.959
and in this case gets sent to the main data center that we use at flowplane now

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:35.040
we get to the fun stuff this is the area where they're actually building the

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:39.360
power upgrade servers and the first part of that is to strip all of the standard

00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:42.959
stock cooling components off of these Quadro gpus from NVIDIA in the future

00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:49.379
they're going to support Radeon as well right now we're just dealing with NVIDIA as we move down the line we can see that

00:02:47.459 --> 00:02:53.459
they start putting them into sandwiches where they're putting these custom made

00:02:51.420 --> 00:02:58.500
heat sinks and heat pipes and everything onto the gpus and then sandwiching them

00:02:56.340 --> 00:03:02.700
together with a dual Riser it's actually like super cool I uh I don't know if

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:08.280
they would have let me do this if I was Linus because he'd drop it but you know I won't do that they're able to keep

00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:14.159
these at a reasonable temperature I washed it under load 100 load both of

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:19.260
these sitting at around 45 Celsius which was pretty intense speaking of 100 load

00:03:16.739 --> 00:03:23.159
this station is where they test them so once they've made two of these GPU

00:03:21.420 --> 00:03:26.159
sandwiches I'm going to call them they rack them up here they have a power

00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:30.599
supply and everything they need to test there's a motherboard sitting on the

00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:33.420
lower part of this server they test here this is where they control I'm not going

00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:36.540
to press any buttons because this is where they control being able to turn on

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:41.940
the water and make sure everything is cooling properly up here they they load

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.200
over the network a Linux system they put a load on it they test it make sure

00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:50.400
everything's good if it's good we move on further down the line so ovh and

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:53.159
Shadow are always chasing efficiencies it makes sense at the scale because if

00:03:52.019 --> 00:03:57.180
you could save a small amount of material on something it's going to

00:03:55.019 --> 00:04:01.140
become a lot over all of the systems that you're building and they design

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:05.519
their own water blocks for all of their systems the ones we saw earlier the big

00:04:03.239 --> 00:04:09.239
chunky ones was an earlier version they have a very new one that looks a little

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:12.840
bit like this you'd be surprised that this setup can cool a Quadro but it

00:04:11.700 --> 00:04:18.180
totally can they've done a bunch of research I'm going to try to install this right now and not completely fail

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:25.139
we'll see how that goes you have to kind of slide it in like that you've engaged

00:04:22.740 --> 00:04:30.979
the cooling at this point and then these little arms here

00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:30.979
have to touch some chipsets on the board

00:04:31.380 --> 00:04:37.979
there we go it's a little slippery but once they mount it it's now ready to be

00:04:36.180 --> 00:04:42.780
kind of sandwiched together the first thing that you need to do is screw these

00:04:39.900 --> 00:04:46.320
standoffs onto the very long bolts and then once that's done which they have

00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:49.860
kind of cool screwdrivers for they don't have one right here so I can't show you

00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:54.720
lttstore.com you can get a cool screwdriver too but once that's done

00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:57.840
once the standoffs are planted just put another GPU on top and do the same thing

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:01.740
once you get the heatsink in place you're ready to prep it for adding

00:04:59.580 --> 00:05:06.360
another GPU first off you need to add this support so it gets tucked under one

00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:12.060
of the heat pipes here and then I'm not going to do it because it's going to take a bunch of time actually no I'm

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:14.759
doing it fast let's go nice okay then

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:19.440
you feed the bolts through put these risers on each one of the posts and then

00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:25.199
you can add another GPU on top of that so they're not touching there's no metal

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:28.199
on metal and then ovh's own marked PCB

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.539
custom Riser gets plugged into both gpus

00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:34.800
at the same time and your GPU sandwich is ready to go

00:05:31.979 --> 00:05:38.400
these are the tested good gpus which they are then going to put onto actual

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:42.660
servers that are theoretically going to go into actual production after the gpus

00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:46.860
are mounted we then have to mount the motherboard the RAM the CPU all that

00:05:44.340 --> 00:05:51.479
stuff you're used to seeing and all of the plugins for the Riser cables because

00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:54.960
I mean well there's eight of them one for every GPU after that we're pretty

00:05:53.400 --> 00:06:01.020
much good to go for this stage there's a little bit more testing that has to be done a few other behind the scenes

00:05:57.900 --> 00:06:02.160
things but it gets held here because as

00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:07.320
far as building the computer is concerned other than a little bit more chassis it's essentially done my

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.280
favorite last bit that I have to point out is these pipes up here water

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:15.800
distribution things they call them clarinets I just had to include that

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:25.740
what's inside has been proved good for at least a day it is then sent to an ovh

00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:30.000
data center like this one upon arrival they do re-testing again all of the same

00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:33.360
previous phases that they did in the previous location all of it is done

00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:37.800
again just to make sure that nothing went wrong in transport then once

00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:42.600
they're done and everything is ready it's installed here and is able to be

00:06:40.380 --> 00:06:46.319
used by users like you for whatever high performance applications they might need

00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:49.440
other than obviously the one we're selling right now I don't want to be

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:53.759
ready in a few minutes all of the servers at every single ovh data center

00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:57.120
is water cooled and that takes some serious infrastructure to be able to

00:06:55.380 --> 00:07:00.240
accomplish along with a bunch of r d some of that infrastructure has actually

00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:06.060
been right in front of us this whole time it's this gigantic metal plate

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:08.039
below that huge metal plate is a massive

00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:11.460
Reservoir this Reservoir was actually built by a separate company of a

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:15.539
bottling company that owned this building before ovh but they've reused

00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:19.680
that infrastructure to use it as a backup Reservoir just in case they need

00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:25.380
it below each one of these these hatches is just a massive amount of water and

00:07:23.099 --> 00:07:29.580
that water is constantly being pH tested and there's even these really Advanced

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:33.599
looking pool skimmers moving around on top of it that are just making sure that

00:07:32.280 --> 00:07:38.099
none of the loops are going to Gunk up because that would be a really really

00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:42.960
big problem speaking of big problems moving all this water around is quite a

00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:47.520
difficult task and you'll find these pumps all throughout the facility you'll

00:07:45.419 --> 00:07:51.780
always find them in pairs the reason for that is because they'll run one at a

00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:56.400
time they switch every work day that's to make sure that each one has a very

00:07:53.580 --> 00:08:00.240
similar amount of worked hours and by using them all the time they're actually

00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:04.139
quite sure that they work which is good all of these Advanced systems

00:08:02.340 --> 00:08:08.520
synchronize together including a few things that I can't really show you or

00:08:05.880 --> 00:08:12.479
talk about on camera result in quite a dramatic difference this pipe for

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:15.780
instance is the water coming into the building when I touch it it's actually

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:20.280
quite cold this pipe is the water going out of the

00:08:17.880 --> 00:08:24.419
building and when I touch it oh hey it's around room temperature the difference

00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:28.139
they say on average is about 15 to 20 degrees and you can see quite quickly

00:08:26.340 --> 00:08:33.419
why this would actually be worth doing instead of running air conditioning for

00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:34.919
this entire gigantic building to make

00:08:33.419 --> 00:08:39.300
sure that all of this keeps running smoothly they have the monitoring room I

00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:42.659
I like to see it as a control center I think they could probably launch a

00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:46.620
satellite from here but we'll see time will tell over on the right side they

00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:50.279
have their fuel monitoring to make sure that their generators which are their

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.779
like third backup for power that they very rarely ever would need to use

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.200
actually still have fuel make sure they're going to run in the case that

00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:02.519
they do actually need it moving forward we have their incidence dashboard or

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:06.480
notifications everything's green because everything's going well right now these

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:09.720
red on the far right hand side are actually just information that they're

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:15.000
receiving from different parts of the data center not not anything that really needs to be addressed right now moving

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:20.820
up here they have their server monitoring the whoa haha one is

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:24.300
potentially down or might potentially have an issue that's actually kind of

00:09:22.260 --> 00:09:28.740
cool that we saw that happen live uh so that will now be seen by the team and be

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:33.120
able to be addressed uh and the green zeros on the other two mean that there's

00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:36.540
no problems in those zones other parts of the screen like in the middle here

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:40.320
that's checking if different benchmarks have failed so maybe a system needs to

00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:43.980
be worked on down here it's things that need to be repaired or upgraded Etc

00:09:42.060 --> 00:09:48.000
they're always tracking everything so that things can be handled very quickly

00:09:45.779 --> 00:09:52.019
I actually saw people run around in the room behind the camera to address that

00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:55.500
as it happened which is super cool you want that type of stuff in a data center

00:09:53.640 --> 00:10:00.000
because things are going to go wrong so being able to address them quickly is is

00:09:57.899 --> 00:10:03.240
is key speaking of address them quickly they also monitor the weather just in

00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:07.080
case something happens if there's a storm if there's a heat wave in the case

00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:12.300
of a storm they might want to go around and just make sure that everything's okay as the storm's going on after the

00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:15.480
storm passes make sure everything is all hunky-dory they haven't necessarily had

00:10:14.160 --> 00:10:19.260
a problem but it's good to know coming outside it's

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:22.860
more of the same but even bigger they have some massive reservoirs back there

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:26.940
that I can't show you they also have some really cool heat exchangers just

00:10:25.140 --> 00:10:31.200
off camera in this direction that I can't show you but what I will say is

00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:35.339
standing amongst those outside in the cold is actually warmer than standing in

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:38.640
the data center inside so clearly they're working pretty well in the

00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:44.640
background if you haven't noticed there's some big power lines power lines that would power you know like a city

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:49.500
but the 220 000 volts that they're delivering to the ovh building is just

00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:52.200
for ovh that's their main intake just in case there's something wrong with that

00:10:50.579 --> 00:10:56.399
across the building on the other side underground they have more additional

00:10:54.060 --> 00:11:00.899
power lines bringing in 20 000 volts and if all of that isn't working they have

00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:05.640
some huge generators each one gives one megawatt of power when it's running and

00:11:03.060 --> 00:11:11.760
can run for up to 14 hours but again they they very rarely ever have to use

00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:13.140
those that's it for the tour of ovh and

00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:17.519
seeing how they build the servers and all that kind of stuff now I'm back in

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:22.079
Canada at the studio and I have to show Linus how this kind of all comes

00:11:19.800 --> 00:11:28.079
together so I have a Raspberry Pi system with Shadow installed an iOS device with

00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:33.839
Shadow installed and a non-gaming laptop an LG gram with Shadow installed on the

00:11:31.140 --> 00:11:37.620
shadow Windows system we installed some various games and we're gonna have him

00:11:35.459 --> 00:11:41.640
check them out I get that you want to show that it's a thin client we're using

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:46.820
the raspberry pi did you have to use the raspie mouse yes Shadow does not claim

00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:51.300
to improve your peripherals at all so this is this is what it came with

00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:55.500
also we had some issues getting the Raspberry Pi to work with a better

00:11:53.339 --> 00:11:59.420
monitor than this no I'm fine but not scepter is King tier yeah it's right in

00:11:57.779 --> 00:12:03.959
the name all right let's go

00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:09.480
sick really no one no one drove you what are

00:12:07.140 --> 00:12:13.920
you guys idiots so playing Halo which is notoriously a little bit rough to run

00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:16.680
and playing it on a Raspberry Pi it was pretty cool and the fact that he's more

00:12:15.420 --> 00:12:21.600
focused on the game than anything else means yeah I think it's working pretty yeah I got a kill already

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:24.720
never mind focused on the game I think you mean winning the game oh Shadow's

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:28.920
always running on another already running on another device there we found out what happens if you try to connect a

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:32.779
second device that was pretty simple it prompts you and you press a button and

00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.779
then

00:12:35.540 --> 00:12:42.180
okay here we go hold on a second is this

00:12:39.060 --> 00:12:45.500
gonna work no way

00:12:42.180 --> 00:12:48.420
where's my uh

00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:55.260
okay I mean to be clear this is uh not an ideal controller setup

00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:57.839
but you totally could that's sweet

00:12:55.260 --> 00:13:03.899

00:13:01.079 --> 00:13:08.700

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:13.279
ah first fight too he never died

00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:22.220
pretty good point to end it on could you see

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:25.560
yeah thanks for watching I don't know what

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.740
