Socializing, shopping, banking, entertainment, and more, can now occur in a virtual environment. Companies have spent billions of dollars and thousands of man-hours developing the interfaces, websites, and devices that allow users to be constantly connected. The space beyond the screen, however, has advanced in a very different manner than that of the user interface. This unseen infrastructure is the physical response to the virtual demand. Warehouse sized servers, internet exchange points, and thousands of miles of cabling combine to create a machine that actively challenges the epithet of “the cloud.”This thesis attempts to create a design process for data centers that places importance on client identity, site response, and user interaction. Data centers are the foundation of the Internet, providing storage, processing, and hosting for nearly every web-based action. The design of a data center that exposes its function, while serving as a connection point to the intangible virtual environment, has the opportunity to change the way users view data. The cloud is not simply a virtual space to store information and interact with distant users; it is the tangible monument of our digital selves. 2014-10-27 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1397233886 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1397233886 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
