About google Data center

In design
While we draw from our direct involvement in google's infrastructure design and operation over the past several year, most of what we have learned and now report here is the result of the hard work, insights of our colleague at google.
One of the largest Google data centers is located in the town of The Dalles, Oregon, on the Columbia River, approximately 80 miles (129 km) from Portland. Codenamed "Project 02", the $600 million[24] complex was built in 2006 and is approximately the size of two American football fields, with cooling towers four stories high.[25] The site was chosen to take advantage of inexpensive hydroelectric power, and to tap into the region's large surplus of fiber optic cable, a remnant of the dot-com boom. A blueprint of the site appeared in 2008.[26]
