Google First Production Server @Computer History Museum



Uploaded by: jalphant
Video Description:
Google first production server at Computer History Museum
Here's the description showed along with the system. --- First Google Production Server Google, Inc., United States With limited funds, Google founders Lary Page and Sergey Brin initially deployed this system of inexpensive, interconnected PCs to procss many thousands of search requests per seco
nd from Google users. This hardware system reflected the Google search algorithm itself, which is based on tolerating multiple computer failures and optimizing around them. This production server was one of about thirty such racks in the first Google data center. Even though many of the installed
PCs never worked and were difficult to repair, these racks provided Google with its first large-scale computing system and allowed the company to grow quickly and at minimal cost. --- And, you can find the photos on the Flickr below. Sorry for the low quality :-( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/1
