An Insider's Look: Google's Data Centers (Cloud Next '19)

Surprised this has so few views. I'm fascinated by Data-center tech.

Excellent presentation

Hi Sir, I am from India, I am Data Center Operator and what a lovely knowledge got me from this video. Thank you so much

Good to see the topic of Sustainability nudging higher in the OCP Foundation membership now that Sustainability is the fifth tenent starting in 2023

Really like the idea of using machine learning to train and learn the sheer amount of data that they are gathering everyday at the data centers, to help optimize the reduction rate in cooling energy consumption in real time !

Great overview of how to do a data center the right way!!

Thank, s for the view this show, s Greatness. Thanks very much for your time.

There's a striking contrast between this talk and a similar talk by James Hamilton about AWS infra in that the Hamilton talk describes in much more detail each of the layers of the "stack," from rack to region, including bandwidth and network topology. I assume Google thinks it's proprietary. Too bad. Also, it would have been interesting to hear how designs changed over the years, including the decision to add OCP. In terms of environmental friendliness, I'm wondering if there's anything special about the use of generators since often generator number and use can be strictly regulated by air quality requirements. Last, it's annoying that the camera focused so much on the speaker when it would have been helpful to have longer visibility of the slides/photos.

Always find it interesting when there are videos about data centers - especially Google's.

I hope Google do another video on their data centres soon.

Very good presentation. Nice perspective on data center 101

This was amazing!

please have more about data center. Thank you!

does google use the poweredge servers still

Thanks your presentation 🙏

Great presentation!

Why these datacenters only have a single ground floor?

9:07 that drop though😎

what topology?

hardware is one thing but if the software needs large quantities of resource and uses only a fraction of it and wastes the rest, more datacenters need to be build.
