The Project Mercury data center in Phoenix, Ariz.

Finished in October 2011, eBay Inc.'s facility sports a regular server room inside and several containerized data centers on the roof. Why?

Some of the containers and servers rely on a specially designed hot water cooling loop while others rely almost exclusively on free air cooling from the cool night air.
