Google data centers

-

Google data centers are the large data center facilities Google uses to provide their services, which combine large amounts of digital storage (mainly hard drives and SSDs), compute nodes organized in aisles of racks, internal and external networking, environmental controls (mainly cooling and dehumidification), and operations software (especially as concerns load balancing and fault tolerance). This article describes the technological infrastructure behind Google's websites as presented in the company's public announcements.

There’s no official data on how many servers there are in Google data centers, but Gartner estimated in a July 2016 report that Google at the time had 2.5 million servers. This number, of course, is always changing as the company expands capacity and refreshes its hardware.
