What is the name of the effect used in this photo and how do you apply it to a photo?

IMAGE

As you can see, the nearest servers (which look like cupboards) are somewhat distorted. That is the effect I want to know of.

This effect is called fisheye effect

You can either get this effect by using a fisheye lens or using photoshop. Try googling fisheye effect photoshop. I found there great tutorials there.

To add to that: The effect is most 'natural' on wide-angle photos taken with 15mm and wider lenses. – uncovery Dec 18 '12 at 6:53
