Google in recent results showed that $ 1.6 billion invested in the construction of data centers only during the three months from April to June

When Google filed its Form S-1 in April 2004, prior to its IPO, it became clear that not only it was already very profitable - to $ 105 million (67 million pounds ) on sales of $ 1 billion in 2003 - but has also invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build a network of servers around the world.

spectators quickly realized that there were hundreds of thousands of servers - and Google itself has made parts. It was at that time the manufacturer of the third servers in the United States. But he has not sold one.

The cost of building a "cloud service" as Google has only increased: in its latest results revealed that 1.6 billion invested in data centers in the three months to April-June This has now become typical Google spending - $ 4 billion per year -. The systems used to index the web, answer questions, advertising, manage email, photographs store and provide maps and Street View photos

  • And it is far from alone. Overall, spending on data centers will reach U.S. $ 143bn this year, according to research group Gartner, and $ 149bn next year, continuing a slow but steady growth. The cause? "Big data" as companies try to cope with an increasing flow of information about their company and the other "and the rush to" cloud computing "- so that data can be accessed from any which have an internet connection
  • handling "big data" for millions of people usually part control billion. It was the price of Apple dedicated its third data center - in Malden, North Carolina -. It covers 500,000 square feet (4.65 acres) and cooled by water from nearby rivers
not alone: ??Google, Facebook, U.S. phone company AT & T services company Wipro also has centers there, attracted by the cheap electricity and plenty of space in the rural state, center can cover the space and use as much electricity as a small town. They are hungry for power and volume data. Servers needed to process the data must be placed in lockers forced air cooling on them, storage is arranged in racks of hard drives that are configured in the hope that some course, but to be replaced. The information enters and leaves the optical fiber with thick cables routed through the floor.

However, two rare things, you will find data centers are people or light. Many systems operate as "fire", because the machines do not need to be monitored and can be controlled remotely. But the need to move data quickly means that it is important to build centers close to their user data. So, Google has built a near Dublin, which covers 4.45 hectares (11 acres) and costs € 75 million. Exceptionally, it is cooled by air.


However, the construction of data centers is increasingly a struggle between access to space, and the connection speed. Before the 2012 Olympics, some IT managers in financial centers of Canary Wharf in East London, with frets would not be able to get enough electricity to power its new centers - which would be located near Floor box nonstop commercial valuable precious milliseconds time trading. Some briefly considered moving outside London - but changed his mind and now have additional energy sources in place to deal with them
