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 👍
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
us-central1 is their current largest. It's incomprehensibly huge. Maybe *one* day I'll look inside of it but I superimposed its footprint onto the Orange County Convention Center (the second largest in the US) which I'm extremely familiar with and it's similarly as long but it's FAR wider. Almost twice as wide. It takes almost 10 minutes speedwalking to go from one end of the OCCC to the other, even with nobody in your way. and this is not counting the parts of the OCCC that aren't part of the showroom floor. It's incredibly large. having gone up and down aisles of conventions, to imagine that, all replaced with servers. It's incomprehensible. It sounds surreal. It's difficult to believe that their data centers today look absolutely nothing like the ones in this video. There is almost no similarity. To picture these... polyliths of information, just... stretching out for incomprehensible distances, and there's four floors of these. And it's just *one* of a *few* data centers they have in the area. And they have 300 of these, all over the world, and counting. There are THOUSANDS of data centers out there. Several thousand. The scale of data centers is incomprehensible. Perhaps one day I will see one in person--fairly soon, likely. But... they are true... utter poetry.
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.
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.
Okay, it's totally confirmed now - I am a geek. I *LOVE* this video. It is SO cool that Google not only has this much server power but that they used the bleeding-edge probably-LEED-certifiable engineering technology when they built it!
Gotta love Raid. Each unit the engineer changes is a part of a Raid within the container. A single container is part of Raid in the DataCenter. Each DC is a Raid piece for Google. Containers are probably hot-swapable :) In case of disaster they just decide if they should sacrifice the web-search-indexes from 2003 or your emails from 3 years ago. :)....and its probably your emails.
@karrotop Reason one : packaging and handling costs are much less. Shipping container method : build 1000 servers, install in shipping container, test the system, ship the container. Rack method : build 1000 servers, pack in 1000 boxes, load 1000 boxes into shipping container, ship container, remove and unpack 1000 boxes, fit to racks and test. Reason two, cooling system - don't have to cool the whole building. Reason three, more resistant to fire, flood, earthquake etc.
Why do none of you understand? This is a SERIOUS video used by Google employees to demonstrate th effecient output of one of Google's Container Data Centres, not a video to laugh at because they called a scooter a 'Google Provided Personal Transportation Device'. They were just saying it as it is to avoid confusion.
Yeah, but Google do everything they can to minimise wastage, the efficiency of their equipment is high. This is better then you can say for almost any other company.
Interesting video Google I myself have 2 servers running a private network in my house for family basically it's 2 servers that are running a login client (Novel) not sure if you heard of it probably have but that's what I'm using. Nice work btw guys keep it up.
@razamoh Those guys are geniuses... of course they've already thought about natural disasters and already taken necessary steps. This isn't the only data center they have
@AnasTangi it's not just the ads, it's how you see the ads. google has a thing called ad sense and it tracks your searches and preferences and then uses that info to give you the best add this is something tv cant do and advertisers pay allot for it
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?
@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.
So here's my question...do you think there are over a million viewers interested in data centers? or is it because it's google? I'm hoping for the interest in data centers because then my youtube video on my data center comics will stand a chance :)
guys, my initial comment was sarcastic. i figured its pretty old. what i realy meant is, why is it in such a bad quality? even 480p could look descent.
Security now. Essential for these magical equations of pure truth, every false person wants there own truths amd eill murder for them in falsitude, Oh, yes they will they are empty on the truth dial, essentually.
Amazing? Of course it is but keep in mind that this is where we all WILLINGLY AND UNKNOWINGLY AND UNWITTINGLY GIVE UP ALL OUR PERSONAL DETAILS FOR PAPA GOVERNMENT TO FIND OUT WHO WE ARE, WHAT OUR BELIEFS ARE, WHAT OUR POLITICAL LEANINGS ARE, WHAT OUR CRITICISMS ARE, ETC.
I want a google provided personal transportation device. along with an aperture science portable quantum tunneling device. so I then can get to the 1500 megawatt heavy duty super colliding super button.
@doomtomb3 Part of the comps are running bots called spiders. These spiders search and index pages from internet. Rest of the comps store the links and details about these pages and list them on how many links lead to them. You'll see these links and details when you use Google. Yes, internet is such a big place. That's why they need that much of storage.
@astralseeker calling the scooter a "google provided personal transportation device" was completely tongue-in-cheek, as the quotation marks in the subtitles indicated. your inability to recognize an obvious joke makes the lengthy, incoherent end-of-times diatribe that follows that much easier to ignore.
It was all very well showing all of the cool (no pun intended) ventilation systems and power systems in this video, but why no views of servers? That's what I really wanted to see. Is there a "continuation video" that shows all of the Google servers on RUclips somewhere? Please let me know ASAP. And you thought the modern gaming PC needed a lot of fans or liquid cooling? Sorry, I couldn't resist that one! Alastair C Parker

'Google provided transportational personal device' LMAO
It's amazing for me as Indonesian to know more about Google, specially for Google container data center
Amazing to see what the cloud really looks like!
Love it, the whole container idea is great, I want one in my back garden please.
Great Video ~ Google are always at the forefront of the data centre industry!
Huih😊hhhjhhhhthhhhhihxhhhhhh
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.
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.

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!
Exelent trabajo muchas gaçias.

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

Your detective skills are reall top notch!
Future of networks safety: Not only applications are isolated in containers, but also the physical servers themselves.
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.
seeing this in 2024 makes me proud!
Here, we see him making his way on his google-provided personal transportation device.

Congratulations Google!
Your effort for green ideas is admirable!

3:47 Good to see Google has it's fair share of tagging.
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.
Because there is so much indexing that is needed to be done and retrieved so fast and such a high quantity.
every few months I haven an argument with an "expert" or one of my bosses because I`ve set cold aisle temperature at 26°C
Okay, it's totally confirmed now - I am a geek. I *LOVE* this video. It is SO cool that Google not only has this much server power but that they used the bleeding-edge probably-LEED-certifiable engineering technology when they built it!
it's nice to know google have their own taggers (graffiti the doors).
I would totally get one of those myself. ^_^ *Flies to California to the Googleplex to buy one*

I wonder how often they would have to upgrade it.. Imagine how much information gets stored in their data centers daily.
1:07 "see a medium to low voltage distribution center" (in the back ground- "High Voltage Keep Out!"
all this was just a website in 1998 .. inspirational
I would love an updated video!
They actually do provide their workers with scooters to get around. It's pretty awesome. XD
While an older video, I think their thinking. It's efficient.

This is the 21st century version of the film strips kids had to watch in the 50's.

@razamoh Those guys are geniuses... of course they've already thought about natural disasters and already taken necessary steps. This isn't the only data center they have
100 years later, our SD cards will be 10x more powerful
@foxgott16 no actually google does, facebook only has 1 floor for its server. google has 3, google also has more servers per floor
Looks like a Mirror's Edge level, with the red pipes and stuff :D
Imagine how many 'lol's are stored in that building.
Most Awesomest video ! amazingly creative design.
The best... Wow... Congratulations. Google is building the World.
"Here we see him making his way on his google provided personal transportation device" a.k.a A small scooter. Man it looks fun though XD
one of the more biggus data center of the world !!!! i would be proud to work there L:
Very impressive video !
Makes the room sized computers of the 1950's look like a phone.

Wow I think I should attach my computers to the main public water pipe since they all catch on fire ;) inspiration
So here's my question...do you think there are over a million viewers interested in data centers? or is it because it's google? I'm hoping for the interest in data centers because then my youtube video on my data center comics will stand a chance :)
Well if you are eager to know were your RUclips video comes from, its called a data center and this is google' s data center.
Impressionnant - Google mérite bien son surnom de "Géant" !
Data stored on google is saved in 3 or more areas at the same time.
For a while there, I thought that one had to wear a pony tail to work for Google - then I saw the second technician....
Henri
This would be my dream home!
is there a reason why this is not in HD?
i mean, i know google definitely has the budget for this.
Could it be that it did not exist then HD?
what?
testilas buildsy means that the video was uploaded in 2009, when HD video had not yet arrived on RUclips.
guys, my initial comment was sarcastic.
i figured its pretty old.
what i realy meant is, why is it in such a bad quality?
even 480p could look descent.
Security now. Essential for these magical equations of pure truth, every false person wants there own truths amd eill murder for them in falsitude, Oh, yes they will they are empty on the truth dial, essentually.
That would be just ONE of the many Data centres I'd say.........
No, I don't think that. I think that you could pretty much use one of their datacenters as an ISP.
Amazing? Of course it is but keep in mind that this is where we all WILLINGLY AND UNKNOWINGLY AND UNWITTINGLY GIVE UP ALL OUR PERSONAL DETAILS FOR PAPA GOVERNMENT TO FIND OUT WHO WE ARE, WHAT OUR BELIEFS ARE, WHAT OUR POLITICAL LEANINGS ARE, WHAT OUR CRITICISMS ARE, ETC.

They don't have one type of container, they have several types, all for different purposes/situations.
@megadoudatron Not just any ads... interest based, location based, targeted ads! Its big business
@thereddog223 This is one of many data centres Google owns. Googles processes enormous data quantities (gmail, google+, etc...).
doesn't matter, they have backup servers everywhere.

whats weird is that those containers are going to be micro sized in about 40 years o.O
This is one of many datacenters that google use for their services
despues de ver este video realmente estoy feliz de haber optado por google
