Have you ever wondered how Google manages to manage thousands of petabytes (1 petabyte = 1 million gigabytes) of storage for its services around the world? The answer lies in its state-of-the-art data centers!
The good news is that today Google opens the doors of one of its data centers, that of Dalles in Oregon, via a 360° video.
You'll be able to see where Google's data is stored, discover how many centers around the world are connected to each other, how all these machines are cooled and how the company deals with faulty hard drives.
Okay, the video is a bit reminiscent of a corporate video from the 80s, but the discovery of these impressive places is worth the detour. The video is in English, but you can enable French subtitles in the player options.
You can view this video on your computer and use your mouse to move around the image or even better, watch it using a virtual reality headset for total immersion!
