Google gives us a look inside their data centers - Where the Internet Lives

Google did yesterday something they have never done before. They allowed the general public to see what it is like inside one of their data centers. This means that they got a look at well over 50 thousand servers that power the services we use every day. The sheer magnitude of these data centers is really breathtaking and almost seems unreal.
These data centers are using about 35% renewable energy. Google's commitment to increase the proportion of renewable energy is getting a lot of praise because, as you can imagine, these centers use an obscene amount of energy. However, this energy is required to handle the 20 billion web pages indexed per day, the 3 billion daily searches, and the 425 million Gmail users.

To kick this tour off permanently, Google has launched a new website called Where the Internet Lives. The site will show you impressive images from all of Google's 12 data centers and let you meet the employees that run them. In fact, using Google's Street View, you can actually get a virtual tour of Google's Lenor, NC data center:
