How durable are servers?

In my own verse that I was writing was a character who destroyed multiple Burj Khalifa sized skyscrapers that were filled with servers, since it were an AI content farms and he wants to clear the internet. Can someone please tell me how durable are servers on average, since I haven't found any calcs for similar feat. How much does it amplify his Skyscraper destruction feat?
 
Servers like those

Without further context, I do not think there is enough to qualify. Of course, there are verses where "The internet" is treated like a parallel universe, a pocket dimension, or even a multiverse. But we do not have a standard assumption for feats like this. I think just measuring the standard skyscrapers is the start though.

Context - he destroyed a physical servers, a machines basically, which are not containing any universes/multiverse - it's just a data in that case. Also servers fills every floor in those buildings and have narrow paths between them cuz people goes to check those servers once in a while (I specified this since most of the time buildings are assumed to be mostly empty)
 
Also I have found calcs for Burj Khalifa destruction (in my case it's violent fragmentation) and it's 5.8733269598470361 kilotons of tnt. That character destroyed 3-5 buildings so it's 17,6199808795 - 29,3666347992 kilotons of tnt

I'd say it's takes around 85% of every story, and those building have the same amount of stories as an actual Burj Khalifa
 
I think it's best to just find what material servers are composed of, and start the calculation with that finding

Not even burrito level if it was roblox
Apparantly it's moslty plastic and steel. But I don't know in which percentage
 
These things are probably sturdy as your computer, man.

You better off just tiering the destruction of, you know, the buildings the SIZE of Burj Khalifa than whatever fragile garbage those countain, at most you get 10 tons extra of damage.

There is already calc for Burj Khalifa
 
Anyways, here's what I've got:

He destroyed a 5 Burj Khalifa sized buildings that were filled with servers. Let's assume that every floor have 15% unoccupied space (since humans check and fix those servers once in a while).

Average floor have a volume of 200 m^3 or 200000000 cm^3, Burj Khalifa have 163 floors, servers consists of approximately 75% steel and 25% plastic
Volume of servers for 1 floor: 200000000 - 200000000 * 0,15 = 170 000 000 cm^3
Volume of steel: 170 000 000*0,75 = 127 500 000 cm^3
Volume of plastic: 170 000 000 - 127 500 000 = 42 500 000 cm^3
Destruction value of steel: 127 500 000* 597 = 76 117 500 000 joules
Destruction value of plastic: 42 500 000*0,69219330855 = 29 418 215,6134 joules
Overall servers destruction value: (76 117 500 000+ 29 418 215,6134)*163 = 1,2411948×10^13 joules or 2.966526768642 kilotons of tnt
Burj Khalifa's violent fragmentation was scaled to 2.4574e+13 joules or 5.8733269598470361 kilotons of tnt
Overall: (5,8733269598470361 + 2,966526768642)*5 = 44,1992686424 kilotons of tnt (Town Level)
 
There is already calc for Burj Khalifa
What he meant is that, the servers are just a small addition to the destruction of the towers, and the addition is just 10 tons of tnt more, so, it’s not a humongous thing to add in, it wouldn’t make much a difference, you’re better off just calculating the destruction of the towers

And just curious, what is the verse about? I’m curious, since I have one of mine too

Basically it's about internet, it's treated like a real life for characters and they see "The real world" as fiction (something like a Warhammer - a very complexly written and thoughtful verse. But it's made just for ***** and giggles). Internet have a hierarchy that consists of: residents (basically humans that don't contribute to anything and just live in social medias/websites and etc), content makers (it's their job to make content or contribute to websites, but they don't control it in any way and their responsibility is to create most of the data wherever they live. And since they are more valuable for internet - they have low-mid regeneration, that can heal any internal injury if it doesn't kill them instantly, except brain damage), Moderators (they have limited god like powers to moderate their own home-universe, keep everyone below them in line and responsible for safety of their platform. But they still have their own limitations and can't drastically alter their universe), admins (the owners of social medias/websites who don't have limitations of the moderators, but they are still powerless in other social medias). The character I was talking about in the OP is the main antagonist of 2nd arc/season, who hates any imperfections in someone's content that he will manipulate his audience and other people to harass and kill those he considers "unworthy". And while he was doing some good things (like taking down some ai slop channels and fighting against organized criminal group, who were making dogwater content. Also he helped poor and underrated creators), he constantly tries to kill the MC (he is an animator, who can't draw well, because he have severe tremor because of brain damage) and gave him severe PTSD

So, its basically a dystopian society where the internet roles become real roles amd there's a hero that wants to eliminate the evil higher ups like the admins?

Those servers aren't treated like that. It's like someone just crashed buildings filled with computers - of course you won't scale that dude to multiversal level just because of that. Treat those servers and buildings like a factory dedicated to make something eco-hostile and useless

Admins and moderators aren't ones who do evil things on purpose (there's one exception though), they mostly just greedy, lazy and irresponsible authorities, who barely do anything about problems of their social media where MC lives. This plot is mostly about how hateful, biased and violent humans can be to each other because they believed something or can't just accept each other's traits. Also MC is more like an anti-hero than just hero, while he's trying to save the victims of doxxing, attempted murder and other horrible crimes and suffering - he tend to get violent in the process and progressively looses his sanity, since he suffered way too much from a young age (basically a lot of people hated him just because he was "cringe" and beaten him up to a pulp. He was 12 years old at the time and since then things were only getting worse), until he finally redeems himself and tries to forget the horrors he had gone through

Oh nice to know, does the skyscraper have people inside? If so, he just committed collateral damage
