Google First Production Server @Computer History Museum

[Baraquiel62]

my PC is faster than that and has more memory I bet LOL!

[marcel911]

Just think, many of my early searches went through that server :)

[lolizmu]

specs? xD

[mastergx1]

lol - its just a bunch of mbs neted together

[york2600]

@zozanday This really wouldn't have been insanely expensive for a production system. Mobo, 2 Xeon CPUs, RAM, 2 desktop class HDs, and a PSU. It wouldn't be much at all

[Electroniko06]

This is art

[j7x54]

uttt ohh spagettti Os

[Atkaone]

[gabbou94]

42 pentium 2

Woaw 

[jason4themoney]

nerds.. lol

[RafalFromPL]

@zozanday

21 racks, but 2 processors per rack - it have 42 processors

[jason4themoney]

@RafalFromPL OMG 42 is the Answer to Life , the Universe, and Everything!!!

Google is the Grey Goo of the internet. GRYGOO.

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

Lol pentium 2 and ide hard drives...

[TechnicCreations]

Is that the motherboard I see bending o-O

[testdirver]

cool aloong time i dont see a lentium ll

[FACP07]

Cant resist.....Can it run Crysis?

[silentpoet1988]

that looks just like the old server i have in the corrner of my room but its 10 times bigger lol

[samiam4200]

That's one great rack!

[kuza261]

yup Pentium 2

[octavdesinger]

at 0:45 it say pentium II ???

[MrTheMadrifter]

1 megabyte ram 1 gb hardrive :L

[UnknownK1995]

Loks new n shiny!!!

[Officer94]

an pentium 2

[CurtHowland]

Linux.

[rick62008]

I wonder what motherboards were those!

[ozzak159]

get harddrive and look for data on it

[openvue]

@ozzak159 Yeah!

But I must be a dummy drive :)

[bluesmoke21]

What happened with the cases?

[breebw]

@bluesmoke21 Google don't believe in cases. Only sufficient structure to support the components. Eevn today, their own servers(for interenal use), are just a U shaped plate with sever bits inside.

Really, cases are only for shipping and handling and convenience. When you build your own, then its not required. Agreed though, it sure is not pretty.

[NoirNG]

Look at how bend these motherboards are. You could beat the crap out of your hardware back then and it would still work. Today, give your computer one glare and it won't work for days. :D

[LockHoodlum]

well, that takes me back. HP Procurve 4000M switches.

Kids... this is what we thought was modern in the 90's.

[asolutionforyou]

You can see google datacenter in youtube-> watch?v=zRwPSFpLX8I&feature=re­lated



[carl313313]

Lol ... no wonder my P2 wannebe server runs like a charm :P

Old Stuff are better than the new :D

[GhostXoP]

lol network cards and separate computer per stack

[bamahacker01]

i like the cable management...

lol P2 processor! i love old computers.

[cunijoeme]

thats only 12 or so years ago look how far we have come omg =O

[lpfan0147]

wow. pentium 2.

[superaybo]

Wow if this is their first server, i cant even imagine their servers now..

[DrMR2002]

It look like they did that to cut cost? But is bad for the motherboards due to they are warped from the weight of the hardware. But they figure it was temporary solution.

[debiani3866]

and they didnt have chassis for those servers back then? interesting

[Shadikku]

So this is what Robocop looks like on the inside. :D

[web7days]

very old computer socket I pentium 2

[Gamer08ful]

That is epic hardware there.

[EnemyRCA]

thats still a great machine. can be used for todays stuff

[melcans060808]

Wow.. amazing to see that kind of equipment.. where infact google is not a computer company.. nice vid..

[monkeymangonewild]

@melcans060808 ur dumb its the internet server not them making it

[Macintosh3745]

duz it still work?

[MrKillswitch88]

I spy IBM Deathstar drives.

[windowspiratato]

@MrKillswitch88 for maximum reliability

[Campagnevoorvrijheid]

a shame however how little Google is now doing evil by violating the US Constitution on many issues; - Google = Serge + Larry + CIA funds

[vodkamilkshake]

This reminds me of my first computer, built just like with parts collected from here and there, but it had only one motherboard and a single 2GB SCSI hard drive. Those were the days of 56K modems and Pentium IIs :)

[Bugeyemafia]

i dident know they could stack shit that high :O

[butface212]

no limited funds now XD

[mariomanmitch]

Was that an AGP port on that motherboard? What the point of that?

[produKtNZ]

@mariomanmitch Even more [pointless is the 16bit ISA slot rofl

[fl0r1svdk]

@mariomanmitch terminal acess

[Basard100]

BUA HAHAHAHA Pentium II....

[ChrizRockster]

Holy cow! Imagine the amount of static and radiation pouring out of that gear lol!

[statquo112]

the motherboard looked bent by all the weight of the stuff on it. The motherboard is the casing huh

[Dx10Gamer]

Intel Pentium II

[sspoke]

aaaaaaaa

[sspoke]

@sspoke fffffffffff

[sspoke]

@sspoke gggggggggggg

[fireofsev]

HAhahaha Pentium II  SLOT 1's. YES!

[sergiov51]

what operative system used this?

[hunterziegelmann]

Imagine comparing the newest computing parts to the oldest... You would crap yourself laughing...

[PhilipHo92]

now THAT´S what I call a SERVER!

[jasonwlowrey]

Big Iron

[allthatstuff34]

lol dual pentium 2's

[sxy070]

damn that things a mess of wires man and i thought my room was a mess that thing makes my room look so clean i could eat of the floor i'd hate to see what the first servers wireing looked like XP

[KaelaFaerfax8]

hmmany nice guys out there who want to chat and talk on the phone

[SpazzzDog]

In the computer world, 11 years is old enough to get you in a museum!

[Leebumsable]

So cool I love google

[VistaApple]

GOOGLE = INTERNET

I can NOT imagine how boring the internet would be without GOOGLE

I can NOT imagine a person that uses the internet doesn't use google at least 100 times a day

[tutor432]

google is satan.

[allclear241]

Its hard to beleave how far we've come. That's only 11 years old and looking at it, it seems as if it was from another time. Just look around, this very thing (Youtube) didn't exist just 5 or 6 years ago. Its just amazing.

[killervalonz]

Actually it looked pretty normal. THe parts designs havent really changed. Except gpu cases xd. But thats another story.

[LauxHawk]

@allclear241 And then in 10 years, we will look back at how primitive our ways were....who knows what we will have...

[deluxedookie]

now thats a gettho server

[rivkinnator]

boys enough with the flame wars

[MrJoeMontano]

insane

[mhaddadi]

I could recognise the NIC,

its Intel Pro/100S or around that,

but its definetly Intel.

I used them when built servers myself with 8 IDE Raid from 3ware company.

Was working great.

[jejeroy]

hehehe a pentium 2 with a old motherboard 2 socket slot A alot of scsi hard drive with surely with some old sdram pc 133 x 20 server like it its was not bad for this time now YES...

[grofuss]

Aw, P2 chips with MMX /sigh good memories.

[1Mihailo]

OMG!

[pcgeek15]

DAM that's takes me back, slot CPU's

[Dms12444]

They still have slot CPU's, they're actually not that uncommon.

[scotland2019]

very basic like all servers. nice though

[Regency500]

Which wire goes in what port? There are too many. lol

[nos676]

and lol those cables are managed

[PCKaido]

I wonder if they can still run it :D

[metalmulisha98101]

look at the boards sag unthe the weight lol

[AL3J4NdR001]

SKYNEEEET!!!!

[mjndblain]

guys this is some real hystoric shit right here this is w3hat made youtube possible give an applauce

[dellthinker]

Can you say hardware tweaking?

[JKBenchmarks]

*fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap*

[Username7260]

is it normal to have a boner watching this video ?

[TonkatrainHONKHONK]

no, that server sucks

[tvlicenseisascam]

Yes its normal.

[TheHusky9]

geniuses of today they are. Bloody marvellous

[patellaman]

that is seriously inspirational! :)

[coldfusion1111]

Just think ..all of that will look like an old dog in a few years at the pace things are going in QC. It will look as archaic as vacuum tube systems

[ivanyoulube]

can it play crysis? lololol jk

[scotland2019]

fooking beuatiful isent it. :) good post

[Bretty135]

Those pcb's look like they could snap. lol

[SmokiSounds]

BOOT IT!!! NAO!!!

[sPrinGfield0207]

I want to boot that thing :D

[ivanpavaoratincevic]

me 2

[whitenight639]

Dude what museaum is that?

[jalphant]

Computer History Museum located in Mountain View, CA, USA.

[dominoc5]

rofl nice :D

[secret00agent00man]

dual pentium II's per board!wow, reminds me of the good ol' days

[isaacu]

Yes sir... Slot 1 takes me back...

[nerdy1351]

me too.

[contentlocked99]

lol back when a megabyte of memory costed 500 greenbacks?

[enterainer]

jl looks comfusing wonder how mutch space it can save

[halogenetor]

wow... its in a museum already! Intersting setup, two boards per rack .

[halogenetor]

wonder what would happen if your turned it on now ...

[superspit]

it would still power up....though, what it would do, usefully, is another thing.

More great,practical info on other sites about this great unit.

[pojunski]

@halogenetor jesus would float from the light LOL

[Bugeyemafia]

@halogenetor it would prolly, turn on....

[jalphant]

I updated the description to include the actual description written along with the system.

[VideyoJunkei]

each board has 3 or 6 hard drives? it's hard to see :*)

[jalphant]

When I took another deep look, yes, it seems to have three or six drives.

[p00ned2999]

@jalphant I believe those are 3 drives each

[anatolie334]

W00T PENTIUM II !!!!

[Zentraleinheite]

Yay Pentium II

[bommel88]

why does this remind me of my own servers???

Hehe, but mine have cases ;)

[nerdy1351]

Pentium 2s are great for light duty and NAS servers and desktops.

[braindigitalis]

looks like some kind of beowulf cluster, but i think this predates beowulf clusters by a few years? :-)

[ChrizRockster]

Imagine the electrical radiation that thing gives off with no shields for the motherboards.

Old style blade servers were just asking for trouble when Brains comes in with a clumsy screwdriver and a mug of coffee.

[magicianspirit]

At first glance it looks like a hairy alien from Lost in Space

[bierdon]

does it work yet?

[ClonedThing]

it did... its googles old one

[happytodd]

Its probably still have the old google information on it. Just make a google 1970 version ;)

[gotingohan]

theres no internet in 1970's asshole..lol

[happytodd]

Obviously -.- no need to flame sigh, because computers were first made in 1986. Im sure I know more than you about this too. Btw it was a typo!

[CarMoves]

Computers were invented in 1986?

[happytodd]

Well, Windows 1.0 was invented in 1986. The first mac was invented in 1982-1984 I forget. However computers go further back than that because technically calculaters are computers and were out before these "computers" were.

[aidan160]

nope there was a computer in the 1950's that was as big as a whole office building but your cellphone is like 3 times more powerful than it

[tikipyky]

There is a difference between a computer and a PC. One cellphone from our days has a lot more "technology" than all the "computers" from the Apollo 11 space ship.

[aidan160]

i know that its just that he said computer not personal computer, because thee computer in he 50's was a computer just not a personal computer.

[mflora72]

but the fun thing of the apollo 11 spaceship is you could take a shit in a bucket.,...throw it out the window and hit your friend!!

[nuorigin]

Try 300 times more powerful

[efrainy123]

those huge computeres could only hold memory about 4kilobytes which is around 4 pages of text

[myid9876543]

dumbass....

[ScottishDuckHunter]

In 1999? God, you are fucking stupid.

[BrainChild666]

Ibm has been around since 1892. The crate supercomputer dates back to the 

50's.

[brigzilla]

Yea IBM helped with the haulocaust apparently. and im not saying that as a joke they allegedly created a device to count the number of executees during the haulocaust and provided the nazis with the technology.

[BrainChild666]

IBM Hollerith computer. The book "IBM and the Holocaust has pictures of this

machine and how IBM leased everything to the NAZI's including maintanence.

[brigzilla]

i knew it was summat like that. looks like a sewing machine lol. AND supprisingly enough it wasnt named after the holocaust it was amed after the inventer whose name i have also forgot

[qqstar999]

lol, they were invented in the late 50's

[CarMoves]

i was making a joke -- i actually started programming in 1981.

[mysteriousjustin]

Yeah there was, fucktard the first email was sent in 1971 by ray tomlinson before the internet was called the internet, it was called arpanet. now do some research before you fucking go flaming at people

[archaudio993]

dumb hole ALOHA Net 1970's

[CarMoves]

There wasn't?

Who's the asshole...

[gizthegizzygizmo]

the boards are sagging lol

i guess those big p2 cups were kinda heay

[w00ters420]

w00t i see a hp procurve switch at top... i have a procurve 1600m (16 port)for the desktops and a 4000m (48 port) for the cluster of doom.... great share!!!!

[doomie61]

and to think that started off google!!

[jingling30]

those are pentium II cpus. that sytem must have been very hot.  it ran linux with a clustered database.

[ppepe47]

incredible!

[rafaelpossa]

any server specifications?

[FRITZTRIX]

very good! Thanks for share!
