Google is not only constantly improving the field of Data Center Technology, it also does more for Green IT than any other company in the industry. Facebook is a close second when it comes to data centers, but still a bit behind. I have compiled a link collection on the topic:
- CNET article about Google’s DIY servers
- Google hardware platform specifics on Wikipedia
- Google designing their own Network Equipment
- Google’s official data center tour
- Wired article “Inside a Google Data Center”
- Google’s Data Center Metrics
- Google’s Data Center Metrics for 2012
- Google’s new Data Center in Hamina, Norway
- Pictures of Google’s Data Centers
- Google Maps Tour of a Data Center
I would love to visit one of their facilities and get a ‘real’ tour.
