Google Data Center
What is the purpose of a large-scale data center?
There are many major companies running their own data centers, however, there really shouldn't be more than 50. The reason for this is that larger data centers mean more server power which means better performance, more storage capacity, much cheaper IT support, and you can do anything you want if you have a computer or internet connection. However, for smaller-scale projects, even when the servers inside the building are powerful enough, they run slowly, meaning the hardware will not be as effective and could cause issues when doing any kind of analysis. Also, the design of some data centers makes them harder to attack and the most common attacks will involve making changes in your system without noticing. If a team has access to all the network hardware they can run any amount of damage.
The design of some of the Google data centers
Why is Google spending so much money on research into cloud infrastructure?
Google built its own colocation service, called Stadia,
but it was mostly used by gamers. It wasn't until recently that Google decided
people can use it for free. By 2018, they were able to release Cloud Run, with
plans for the first phase of the project. They also started using
virtualization technology and a few other things to make life easier for users
who no longer need internet access. Their goal is to create this environment so
that everyone who will use Stadia can enjoy it while being connected to the
same stable internet as everybody else. This way, developers don't need to
worry about the server side and can focus on creating new games and services.
What kinds of software is Google running in their data center's operating systems?
Examples are the Ubuntu distribution of Linux, KVM
partitions, the ChromeOS image, and Google Drive. In case anyone knows
something about this, let me know in the comments. So far I'm pretty impressed
by the possibilities that the operating system uses.
I've heard that Google has an office in London but they
currently have one in New York. How did they get the space they needed?
They got the building at 725 Poyntz street from Disney
(which is now sold). There's a huge lot of room here. They also got another big
facility, called C2B. There are lots of rooms here to store equipment such as
video production tools, etc. It also supports the company's "Big 4"
plan, which is the headquarters that is located between Manhattan and Staten
Island.
What are the benefits of having a big data center?
1) Higher efficiency. When we talk about how good the
machine is and what resources it has, the best part is that they don't just
send you to your computer. Nowadays, the machines inside Google are capable of
completing bigger tasks than before because they're powerful enough to handle
all the tasks.
2) Better memory. The CPU isn't limited to working with
specific programs, so the memory stays up to date. Plus, they use high-speed RAM.
3) More flexibility. All your files can be stored on
various devices and devices. Some computers, especially those with older
versions of Windows, use the Microsoft Filesystem as well as Apple's Mac OS X.
You can create backups of important folders as well. This can be useful in case
the device or desktop crashes.
4) Lower costs. With the help of Google, your data is kept
secure because of two reasons: 1) They keep the data, and 2) They don't delete
the data.
5) Less risk. A company like Google doesn't open contracts
and deals based on individual data. Instead, they keep contracts based on
entire organizations.
6) Flexible. We can't control what happens with the data.
For example, in order for us to access our accounts in Gmail, for instance, we
have to set up a password and then we can never reset that password unless we
restart our computer. Sometimes you'll find out that you forgot your password.
That can happen. But even though we have to change our passwords to change them
in the future, it will also happen in the past. So there is no guarantee.
7) Control over how Google works. One thing that's great
about Google is that they don't have to worry about what kind of data we generate
every day. They just have to show what is needed to do a certain job.
8) Protecting our privacy. Google doesn't share anything
with other websites. Only when a user wants to access his account does he have to
open our website. And everything is in full transparency about our data.
9) Safety. We know that we have very little control over
the data, and that's why it's so safe. We can always change the settings, erase
information if we feel uneasy, and also keep different parts of the data
separate and secure.
10) Privacy protection. In order for us to protect
ourselves, we encrypt certain data. It isn't only encrypted data, but also our
IP address, where I stay, with Google and other companies.
