Never Before Seen Images Of Google’s Data Centers
Kids today are so
used to the Internet that I’m sure some of them think it lives in their
computer. The intricacies of the Internet itself are far more complex than they
were 10 years ago. Today we have servers that are supposed to handle ever
faster Internet connections, and of course all the people who hog the bandwidth
to them. Even for the most seasoned Internet user, the advanced technology
behind it all may seem daunting to say the least. There have been so many
people who’ve wanted to know what Google’s server park looks like through the
years that you might have thought Google would have shared some pictures
earlier. But no, only recently have there been some never before seen images of
Google’s data center published to the world.
When you look at
these never before seen images, you are struck with one initial thing, and that
is the insane level of organization. It’s mind boggling how many servers Google
uses in order to keep us all satisfied with the search speed. That’s not even
mentioning the insane amount of cooling infrastructure that is needed to cool
their entire server park. To an outsider, this may very well look like chaos,
but for a Google technician, this is as much organization as is humanly possibly
working with such a volume of top level technology.
You got to love the
way they have incorporated the Google logo colors into their way of organizing
the cooling tubing in their facilities. I guess next time you use Google to
search for something, you might remember these images and wonder about the
amount of technical skills and hardware it takes to serve you those search
results. These never before seen images of Google’s server park will definitely
be stuck in my mind for a long time. When a company shares their never before
seen images, and when they are as epic as these, that’s when you truly know the
Internet is one of the most intricate technology creations that humans have
ever put together. See more images of Google’s insane server park in Google’s Data Centers Gallery.
