In 2013, we took a look inside one of New York City’s data centers, the Sabey Intergate Manhattan Center (in the former Verizon building downtown), the tallest high rise data center in the world. This facility connects to what are known as “data hotels,” recently featured in Wired. Photographer Peter Garritano spent five months visiting the five data hotels in New York City, capturing the network of wires, servers, cables and more that make the internet work.
