Let me know if you know anything about this.

Now days it is mostly blade servers. When I say blade I don't mean the IBM blade but the thin computers that fit in a rack. A rack can have around 15 servers in it and data centers typically have hundreds of racks. Here are what racks look like: Rackmount Solutions offers Server Racks, Server Cabinets, Network Racks, Shockmount Portable Cases and Computer Tables

Here are server pics and racks: HP BladeSystem server blades and solutions

You have to keep a lot of computers in a small space to process all the data.
