Google provided a look inside its data center operations at the Google Data Center Efficiency Summit held Wednesday in Mountain View, Calif. The presentations included a video tour of a Google data center, which showcased the companys use of shipping containers to store servers and storage. Each of these 40-foot data center containers can house up to 1,160 servers, and Google has been using them since it began building its own facilities in 2005. The company will post complete videos from the event next week.

  • It looks like Aperture of Science

  • @djlexist it could probably hold between 5000-20000 terabytes or 5-20 petabytes but keep in mind google will keep on expanding as long as its a internet server

  • imagen if this ran crisis, god, the smoke the deaths the fire, the smell of melting intels and failing video cards. The biggest fire in history

  • scouters :)

  • The jokes about crysis and blender are so funny and original!

  • @MegaFUZZYDICE no it need a videocard lol

  • @9DJBoris thats true :p. but i would prefer to buy 2 mars 2 cards you can play crysis 2 on highest 1080p with 100 fps + and its much cheeper than this data center. but just for gaming :p

  • @UnkownName321123 But you can use the CPUs to render the video (it normaly needs a little modification in games) and send it over RDP or better over X11 Forwarding and you have your favourite game, running on a cluster with a terrible latency... over Ethernet => Useless

  • How much Terabytes/Petabytes can it hold?
