Google Opens the Doors to its Data Centers, Storm Trooper Security Revealed
Google has granted some publications a limited, exclusive look in to their datacenters. In addition to this look provided by Wired Magazine, Google has also created a Street View-esque tour of one of their North Carolina datacenters. In typical Google fashion, there are a few surprises – the most hilarious of which is a storm trooper, standing guard over a massive server rack, with a miniature R2-D2 model seen in the foreground. Both are characters in George Lucas’ Star Wars (as if you didn’t know that already), and show Google’s quirky, yet unwaveringly geeky, culture which attracts so many bright and talented minds. Good on the guys over in Mountain View – this is the best of Google, in one photo.
