  • Microsoft copied google...

  • I'm definitely not a data center person, so my understanding here is essentially nil. I was mostly just amazed this thing was sitting in the middle of the expo cause it was large and LOUD.

    Since I only followed the big points that were made about this machine, what specifically did Google do first?

  • @crackcoach: Troubleshooting does not happen in those containers. No one works there. If the systems fail to boot or behave properly, they get paved and reimaged from afar. If they physically break, a rep from the server vendor gets dispatched to replace the entire server unit. There is no troubleshooting.

  • I am a Data Center person and I am amazed that they would show racks with such sloppy structered cabling. The reason that neat cabling is so important is trouble shooting. When a server goes down money is being lost, sometimes BIG money. If your DC techs can determine which cable or port or connection is down quickly then the fix can also be done quickly

  • @NoJake Actually this was a Sun idea first

  • @OrganizeFISH Ahhh wow, youtube needs to make comment feedback easier to see.

    Anyway Google basically had the idea of containerizing a data center (see other vids on youtube), for cost, scalability, etc. reasons. Microsoft seems to have followed suit.
