Gawd I love living in these times. If this is
seven years ago, what do ten years ahead
hold?!

Sweet, a definite piece of history! Wonder
how long 'googling it' is going to be the
vernacular.
I'm gonna say that the cooling in that room
must have been working hard to keep these
guys cool. The first 'blade' servers, eh?
Any guesses on many blades are in Googles
machine room(s) as we speak... (I'm going to
say 1000+, myself.)

I wonder if they wiped the drives before the
put it into the museum... a little late-night
ninja-work might be in order!
Or perhaps a good source for an
archeological dig in a few thousand years.

Google had around 4000 servers back in 2000,
100 thousand in 2004, and nowadays probably
200-300 thousand (although some people say 1
million). They buy them around 10000 units at
a time.
I wonder when they break the 10 million
servers (or processors) mark.

Loved it!
Such is the rate of change of
technology...6yr old boxes are showing up in
History Museums. Maybe today's Google
servers will find themselves in the Museum in
2008!? By then one of jurvetson's
Nano-servers will have taken over!...:)

I like how they had the front panel switches
all wired up and attached to that piece of
Plexi or MDF or whatever is being a platform
for the Hard Drives...

Oi! 200 thousand servers! that's a lot of
power usage!! If it's a million, that's
100-150 or more Megawatts of power! And that
doesn't even count the power neccessary for
cooling, which, what, doubles that? Can one
point twenty one giga watts be far behind?
(I think I'd cause some heart attacks if I
wished a bolt of lightning on them...)

When Google at last started using AMD
processors a few months ago, power
consumption was one of important reasons.
Already back in december Google engineers
said, that power is starting to cost them
more than hardware.
An AMD processor takes less than 100W of
power, Intel Xeons could take more than 150W,
but that's just processors.

Hmm, and there are multiple disks on some of
the servers, probably, so wow.. maybe more
like 400 Watts average per server? 800 Watts
with cooling then... Even closer to that
magic GigaWatt...

I saw one of their server farms in an Equinix
hosting facility in VA not too long ago.
Nothing too impressive just walking by the
cage. Keep in mind they are most likely
spread through several hosting facilities in
different geographical areas for
redundancy...

If you look closely, the labels on the
computers start with “jj”. Their first
machines started with “a”. These weren't
really the first “production servers”; it's
described as the first “rack” though (meaning
the first model, not the first one built).
