[dundee] Google's Secret Servers Revealed

[gordon dunlop]

Here is an article on how Google runs its servers. 1160 servers in a
standard shipping container each with a 12v battery backup in case of power
failure. The data centers  are just stacks of shipping containers built on
top of each other. They use Gigabyte motherboards with dual CPU's and it
looks like 8 banks of memory. I wouldn't like to be the maintenance man for
looking after everything.
