This is what powers the InternetOk,
not the entire Internet, but life without Google Search, Gmail,
Youtube, Google Maps and other Google products would be hard to imagine.
In a first, the search giant has allowed a first look at its eight
mammoth data centers that power the Internet. Google provides engineers
bicycles to move inside the intricate maze of thousands of servers and
miles of cables and pipings. the above picture is a Street View tour of
North Carolina facility which reveals Stormtrooper and R2D2 standing

Hamina, Finland
From
Google: "Different data centers offer different amenities. This
conference room, inside our Hamina location, is just outside a sauna
area which is available for employees whenever they like."
The Dalles, Oregon
From
Google: "Steam rises above the cooling towers in The Dalles data center
in Oregon. These plumes of water vapor create a quiet mist at
dusk."Council Bluffs, Iowa
From Google: "This family of deer have moved in next to our Council
Bluffs, Iowa center."The Dalles, Oregon
From
Google: "Mike Barham swaps out a motherboard. When server parts break,
we first try to repair them. If we can't, we break them up into raw
materials (steel, plastic, copper, etc.) and recycle the
components."Hamina, Finland
From Google: "A beautiful landscape forms during winter in Finland, as
the gulf ices over and creates a picturesque view."Berkeley County,
South Carolina
From
Google: "In case anything should happen to our data, we have it all
backed up. One of the places we back up information is here in our tape
library. Robotic arms (visible at the end of the aisle) assist us in
loading and unloading tapes when we need to access
them."Hamina, Finland
From
Google: "Server floors like these require massive space and efficient
power to run the full family of Google products for the world. Here in
Hamina, Finland, we chose to renovate an old paper mill to
take advantage of the building's infrastructure as well as its
proximity to the Gulf of Finland's cooling waters."Douglas County, Georgia
From Google: "Blue LEDs on this row of servers tell us everything
is running smoothly. We use LEDs because they are energy efficient,
long lasting and bright."The Dalles, Oregon
From Google: "These colorful pipes are responsible for carrying water
in and out of our Oregon data center. The blue
pipes supply cold water and the red pipes return the warm water back
to be cooled."Council Bluffs, Iowa
From
Google: "Inside our campus network room, routers and switches allow our
data centers to talk to each
other. The fiber optic networks connecting our sites can run at speeds
that are more than 200,000 times faster than a typical home Internet
connection. The fiber cables run along the yellow cable trays near the
ceiling."
