Google let's you inside it's data centers via Street View

New Google Street View Feature Lets You See “Where The Internet Lives” Have you ever been curious to see where the Internet and all of your important data lives? For the first time, Google is opening their many locked doors and allowing people to see just how much work goes into to keeping their business up and running. What makes the tour interesting is that it isn’t done through video or guided tour, but actually done through Google’s Street View. Once you locate one of Google’s many data centers, you can take a virtual walk through and get an inside look. A very neat and nifty feature indeed. Not sure if this interests anyone else, but seeing the sheer massive size of these data centers sends my inner geek into a frenzy.

I'd love to know how many hard drives they have!

I'd love to know how many hard drives they have! I was wondering the same thing! The sheer mass of computing power in just that one data center makes me drool.

That's definitely awesome! I want to know more though! I'd like to know what OS they use on those data centers. It's Linux of some flavor, but I've heard it's a highly customized version. I'd like to get my hands on a copy of it.

There are probably a few uber-nerds out there with very sticky pants right now.

So that's what the internet looks like. Very cool indeed.

Well, actually... *high five* I was thinking of that very episode when watching the Google video.
