The Google Modular Data Center is a set of data center containers used by Google as its servers. They were revealed on April 1, 2009, during the first Google Data Center Efficiency Summit in Mountain View, California. The data centers are rumored to cost $600 million USD each, and use from 50 to 103 megawatts of electricity. They house the computing resources that comprise the Google platform.
Locations (http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/index.html)
The locations of Google's various data centers are as follows:
United States: Berkeley County, South Carolina; Council Bluffs, Iowa;Douglas County, Georgia; Mayes County, Oklahoma; Lenoir, North Carolina; The Dalles, Oregon
Global: St. Ghislain, Belgium; Hamina, Finland; Kowloon, Hong Kong; Jurong West, Singapore
What is a data center?
A data center is a specialised facility filled with computers that run web services - in our case, web services like Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps and more. If you live somewhere in Europe, there’s a fair chance that the next time you type a query into Google, it will be answered by computers in Hamina (although we do have other facilities in Europe too, for example, in Belgium). Data centers are run by technical staff who maintain the computers and the building, and ensure that web services are available to you 24x7.
Why did Google choose Hamina?
Hamina has the right combination of energy infrastructure, developable land and available workforce for the data center. Additionally, the team from the local community that welcomed us has worked exceptionally hard throughout the selection process. All of this has truly distinguished Hamina as a great place for our new data center.
What kind of skills does Google look for when hiring?
Jobs at Google data centers focus on ensuring that the facility’s computers are running at optimum speed and efficiency 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Different positions require a variety of skills and backgrounds, ranging from entry-level technology assistants to experienced data center managers and Linux administrators. In every case, we look for individuals who demonstrate the potential to excel in intense computing environments. You can find specific skill requirements on our jobs page.
Does Google plan to form community partnerships?
Yes, Google is committed to playing a positive role in the community. We’re already engaged in many such pursuits around the world. Learn more about our approach and core values.
We plan to engage in Hamina community partnerships once our facility is operational. If you’d like to suggest ways that Google can become more involved in the Hamina community, please contact us at googlehamina-community@google.com.
Where is Google based?
Google Europe is based in Dublin, Ireland where we employ some of the finest engineering talent in the world to build on our existing products and to create new ones. We also support more than 25 countries there, helping millions of Google users and customers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa get the most from our products every day. Google’s international headquarters is in Mountain View, California, in the heart of Northern California’s technology-rich Silicon Valley.
What’s Google’s story?
Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. It all started in 1998 when our founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, working out of a Stanford University dorm room, developed a new approach to online search that quickly spread to information seekers around the globe. As a result, Google is now widely recognized as the world’s largest search engine – a free service whose utility and ease of use have made it one of the world’s best-known brands. Shortly after our search engine became popular, our engineers began developing a variety of free online and mobile applications like Gmail, Google Maps and Google Docs & Spreadsheets. And along the way, Google has acquired companies that share our vision, such as Picasa (personal photo organizing software) and YouTube (the leading online video service). All of these services help you to create, locate and manage the information that is important to you. And many of them will be maintained in our new Hamina data center.
How does Google make money?
The majority of Google’s revenue comes from providing highly-relevant advertising to online consumers searching for information on related products and services. Google AdWords, our auction-base advertising system, allows advertisers of all sizes to reach the right customers at the right time by showing ads that are relevant to that user’s searches. And best of all, advertisers only pay when someone clicks on their ad. It’s a win-win situation for advertisers and consumers: consumers see relevant ads about products and services (alongside our natural search results), and advertisers only pay when interested consumers click on their ads.
What are Google’s products?
Google offers a wide variety of Internet services such as our original search engine, maps, and email.
