Its so interesting to see such old stuff. Google started with one tiny rack in 98, 7 years later with thousands of servers in containers and nowadays with multiple huge data centers all over the world 👍

Amazing to see what the cloud really looks like!

[@khalish5578]

It's amazing for me as Indonesian to know more about Google, specially for Google container data center

[@Anonyminded]

3:28 Googles provided personal transportation device :D thats proper 100% corporate jargon! :D

[@bmbeauregard23]

Ano Nymous . .

[@romaromashka4431]

'Google provided transportational personal device' LMAO

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

I assume the sites chosen to locate the Server farms are not on a seismic, flood or tornado/hurricane location. Do they have ballistic and vehicle penetration protection?

[@pda4yt]

Future of networks safety: Not only applications are isolated in containers, but also the physical servers themselves.

[@killerchipmunk44]

@Hutcho12 what have they done that is better? not being aggressive, am just curious.

[@davidclavey]

Love it, the whole container idea is great, I want one in my back garden please.

[@masterquadbiker]

so...what does all this do?

[@fabioobm]

Olá, estou fazendo um TCC sobre o telescópio SKA sobre o armazenamento e transferência de dados. Queria saber qual é o tráfego diário da Google e a quantidade de armazenamento que ela suporta por dia? Obrigado

[@jpmorgan187]

It would be cool to see an animation of data flow when one accesses gmail. There's so much more than meets the eye, as evidenced by this video.

[@Kyodaikuma]

What kind of storage discs do google use?

[@magnetstoo]

Cannot get much better than that...good job.

[@no1DdC]

How did you make the head and the torso of this firgure?

[@tennesse9458]

Where is the server that has all port sites?

[@nelsonxcheung]

Appreciate the time that Google's engineers had put into every part of their DC to make it greener.

[@jcdock]

Your detective skills are reall top notch!

[@EmrecanOksum]

this video is recorded in 2007 but this datacenter is still the biggest one

[@dignomontero9035]

[@James_Jelly]

Are those tags on the door at 3:49 ?

[@mozzmann]

One of the neatest and most efficient data server farms I have seen in a long time, management of power, Airflow etc is critical to efficient operation. Couple this with a BIG solar Array and Batteries it would be as green as you could get some of our reliance of Computer IT.

[@NERDFORADAY]

I would love an updated video!

[@xjamoramax]

Because there is so much indexing that is needed to be done and retrieved so fast and such a high quantity.

[@Assimilator702]

VERY well done data center. Would have LOVED to wire that one up!!

[@stdavross666]

@johnmacward they are low voltage cables.

[@ThouConquest]

They probably take advantage of cooler climates when it's available, but you can assume they have these located in different areas to help service everyone.

[@bzert281]

Remo Williams: What do these things do, keep track of your wardrobe? I thought they figured out a way to make them smaller? Conn MacCleary: These *are* the smaller ones.

[@mosessbzinaziezinazie7468]

How can I get Google Wi-Fi network on my cell phone

[@sumdumyid]

Thank you for sharing this really interesting inside look. I learned a few useful things.

But does it have water cooling system

[@joeb8282]

WOW!!! I have worked in some large data centers all over the country but nothing like this. Very impressive Google.

[@PRABEESHRK]

amazing.....

[@Eracer]

@ 01:04 - What do you mean when you say that transformer efficiency is 99.5%, i thought they where about 60 to 70 %,, What kind of non-exotic transformer is this?

[@frankprovasek5394]

If transformers were only 60-70% efficient, we would be using DC power www.electrical4u.com/efficiency-of-transformer/

[@ernestgerbnan2367]

Hello! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!

[@PatrickCosta]

Siete da esempio per qualsiasi Azienda SERIA!

[@Pr0phetEdge]

We were using container data centers in the 90s in the military, we could pickup the dc and have it across the world in 2 weeks. We used the TAVB as the ship of choice to deploy.

[@Gofishygo-Peopleunit]

These containers remind me of the mobile ADP container vans that housed the UNIVAC 1500 data-processing systems I used to maintain in the Marines back in the 70's. We could tear down and redeploy the entire system via airlift to anywhere in the world within three days.

[@mayangroup]

thanks

[@datacentrehub1993]

Great Video ~ Google are always at the forefront of the data centre industry!

[@yaspalsingh6714]

Huih😊hhhjhhhhthhhhhihxhhhhhh

[@realjules]

what is when i cut a cable?

[@roundedges2]

Where is Neo plugged in?

[@Phobzi]

Here, we see him making his way on his google-provided personal transportation device.

@helicon07 que es?, va ademas de eso de google earth, la verdad que nunca me puse a averiguar.

[@AaronLow1]

I was reading a book on how the modern world works. It's kinda like an encyclopedia of modern technology. They included Google in the book. It basically said Googleplex was like being in a playground wile at work. They have ball-pits, pool tables.... and a lots more. Scooters are a simple and efficient solution to transportation in that place. Segways would be overkill, for they are bulky and may ram into something.

[@LettuceJoans]

what is security like?

[@94XJ]

I wonder what the noise level is inside one of those containers

[@nsk2066]

Most Awesomest video ! amazingly creative design.

[@snale5]

Thanks for making this interesting!

[@spongebob0622]

[@snale5]

?

[@Ograws]

What is this complex for? (Computer beginner talker)

[@vganeshbabu]

Nice to see how Google manages it's data centers.. :)

[@alexyorkshots]

Yes, but can it run Crysis on max settings.

[@youcoool12]

how much storage space have google? ;0

[@ephemerol]

it all seems so simple from a browser, you type a search term or check your email and that's that. the scale of the infrastructure behind it is mind boggling.

[@polypolyman]

why are the power distribution cables low-voltage? would make more sense to raise the voltage to decrease power losses. would probably make more sense also to leave all area lights off and use flashlights for servicing...

[@Beatles219]

@WarcraftHermit Didn't you see the one on the scooter?

[@01Thepatriot]

What of power supply stops

[@BarneySaysHi]

This is amazing! I wish that all datacentres looked so clean and well maintained! Google, you're doing one hell of a nice job there!

[@franciscodominguez1514]

Exelent trabajo muchas gaçias.

[@Largo1981]

Very impressive video !

[@TheStrongproductions]

Cool, but what does it do?

[@ServerTechnology]

Excellent Video Tour.

[@Heidelaffe]

With onboard graphic chips? Don't you understand the difference between a server and a gaming machine?

[@samjaramillo]

wat does water have to do with google?? i dont get in

[@emreerokyar]

Brilliant use case for an interlaced video where the camera is panning most of the time. Kudos Google! :-)

[@lundhM]

What type of security protects the plant against sabotage, what would it mean for Google and all of us users if it were taken out of service?

[@holdmybeer]

there was tagging on one of the doors ^^

[@description112]

Data stored on google is saved in 3 or more areas at the same time.

[@daltd003]

@Dalt584 its too loud for some people in the server rooms. that or they want to listen to music

[@SoCalFlya]

Love the tagging :)

[@stdavross666]

@johnmacward cant comment on US standards but australian standards only which I am assuming are similar to US (we use 240VAC50Hz not 110/60)..upto 60VDC/45VAC is classified as ELV (extra low), upto 1500VDC/1000VAC is classifed as LV, and over 1500VDC/1000VAC is classified as HV.

[@AlosDiallo]

This was great thanks for sharing

[@heart0fthedrag0n]

Gotta love dem personal transportation devices :D

[@saltlakejohn]

The human at 1:55 with a whole other take on the PTD.

[@Kosiwa]

The real will need your full details to enter our online

[@jimbotron70]

Why container roofs are closed? If they were open it would improve noticeably heat dissipation.

[@PatrickCosta]

Qualcuno sa dirmi se c'è una versione del video in italiano?

[@tacticmanify]

So tell me, what would happen if something were to happen to this cable

[@philosophia5577]

seeing this in 2024 makes me proud!

[@TheHireTheBetter]

The video freezes at 3:51 :-( Did that sector get lost when the hard drive failed?

[@MaffiLu]

that was actually pretty dang cool to see :>

[@joelvalencia9885]

[@RandomMacFive]

@xmaxfactorx If Google owns Facebook, why did they make Google +?

[@GordanGrasarevic]

amazing transportation device!

[@SalleHassan]

wonderful datacentre

[@kinsley2108]

3:47 Good to see Google has it's fair share of tagging.

[@nataliejessup3987]

Ink?

[@krbosak]

Al Kaida EMEA expresses its unsurpassable gratitude for this helpful introduction.

[@Seanzaaa]

"Google-provided personal transportation device." Awesome way to say scooter :D

[@seirv0621]

@foxgott16 no actually google does, facebook only has 1 floor for its server. google has 3, google also has more servers per floor

[@mrguiltyfool]

This would be my dream home!

[@jcdock]

3:49 Is that tagging on the door?

[@crockerfilm]

Aperture science?

[@Subrata360]

Wow. Amazing 👌

[@c2thew]

amazing!

[@madelhughes8251]

Very interesting technology, keep up the good work guys.

´what will happen if it burns to the ground?

[@nickpelov]

Tdhe low voltage stuff is quite strange. Did someone calculate how fat cable do you need to conduct 12 volts to 100 meters with the same efficiency as 220? Yes, they have good hi-to-low conversion, but I really doubt they achive overall better efficiency than high voltage cables

[@bryandyaz7988]

que vacano video ....wow....

[@kofodsen]

So yeah.. but can it run crysis?

[@vladimirrodionov5391]

This is the original OLDEST video n on KZbin

[@axxo798]

sow if i place a bomb there there is no more internet ?

[@xuavi]

Congratulations Google! Your effort for green ideas is admirable!

[@OTKSenior]

3:40 That GPPTD is pretty high-tech stuff XD
