Talk:Google data centers

Need estimate of megawatts and electricity costs
Added estimate of electricity power costs at 5-8 cents/kwh, 65,000-100,000 servers at 100-200 watts each ~= up to 20 MW with a cost of 1.2 million $ / month.

Other Google centers
Could we add a list of all Google centers around the globe, where Google has GFS servers? Peter S. 15:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I have added the claim about Australian Data Centre. ITNews also refers (see ref for AustDC) to a Japan Data Centre, although I believe their claim that Australian requests are served from Japan before the Aust Data Centre was put in is probably inaccurate as I believe the links from Australian to West Coast USA are bigger than our links to Japan.  My old traceroutes also used to goto West Coast USA.  Also this Aust DC has been around for quite a while.


 * I do believe we should expand the list of Data Centres, but finding out where there might be a problem as Google seems to be secretive about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.200.223 (talk) 11:11, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Google has a list of datacenters here http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/index.html The list is (at december 2011): `a5b (talk) 13:45, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Berkeley County, South Carolina ("Mount Holly Industrial Park between the towns of Goose Creek and Moncks Corner"). 41.220856,-95.888154
 * Council Bluffs, Iowa ("on the border of Iowa and Nebraska") 37.0625,-95.677068
 * Douglas County, Georgia ("just outside of Atlanta") 33.75841,-84.637448
 * Mayes County, Oklahoma; 4581 Webb Street, Pryor, OK 74361 (Pryor Creek Datacenter; "middle of Mayes County")
 * Lenoir, North Carolina; 708 Lynhaven Drive, Lenoir NC 28645 (Lenoir Datacenter)
 * The Dalles, Oregon; 161 Steelhead Way, The Dalles, OR
 * Hamina, Finland ("former paper mill on the Bay of Finland"), 37.0625,-95.677068
 * St Ghislain, Belgium, 35.690921,139.700258
 * Hong Kong ("Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate in Kowloon") 37.0625,-95.677068
 * Singapore 1.351579,103.709521

Is there any intention to keep this up to date? Is it meant to include GCP data centres (e.g. The Dalles and St Ghislain are definitely GCP data centres)? Does not include the London data centre. I have no idea where that is actually located. Manolan1 (talk) 21:19, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Henderson
Henderson, Nevada — announced in 2018 : 1,210 acres of land bought in 2017 in the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center;[6] project approved by the state of Nevada in November 2018[7] Henderson is nowhere near the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. What gives? Where is the data center? Leijurv (talk) 02:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Is it? To me, it isn't that clear that we are talking about "Google Data Centers" instead of simply... data centers that belong to Google. Just like "Target stores" and "Nike shoes" aren't proper nouns. BernardoSulzbach (talk) 18:32, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed with the above. No indication that this is a proper noun. Colin M (talk) 00:47, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
