I've seen far worse. That said, the compute density is pretty low and the gear is rather older than what you would expect, they clearly are not optimizing for power efficiency but for capital efficiency, which means that as long as they can operate a box profitable they'd rather add more buildings than upgrade their servers. Interesting thermal arrangement, I wonder how well this would work in a fire, it looks like a giant chimney to me but maybe there is some secret sauce.

Hetzner has been traditionally renting dedicated servers for their customers - this might still be main part of their business.

This is also not their "state-of-the-art" DC. FSN is one of the older ones, I'd be interested in a tour of one of their Helsinki DC's which should be newer
