Is a world of information.
When you visit Google, you find yourself in one of the most powerful server networks in the known Universe. But what it looks like from the inside?
Google has done what was not done in the history of the company. It showed their data centers, where are located hundreds of thousands of servers that are responsible for the smooth operation of the services of the company. 13 data centers around the world are a single body. This is the place where lives the Internet.
Google was registered in 1998, but its history began a bit earlier. The first server of the future, Google had a capacity of as much as 40 gigabytes.
Today, the company got a little bigger. Order in parts and to become acquainted with work of the data centres, take a look at this greatness, Google has created a special web page. The pictures are accompanied by various explanations, telling about the technology. Photos Of Ms. Connie (Connie Zhou).
