Google isi va produce singur servere (hardware)

"..Instead of buying commercial servers, at a price that increases with reliability, Google builds less reliable servers at a cheaper cost knowing that its software will work around any outages. “For us, that’s the right solution,” Holzle says. Another reason that Google builds its own servers is equally simple: it can save costs on power consumption.Energy efficiency is a subject Holzle speaks passionately about. About half of the energy that goes into a datacentre gets lost due to technology inefficiencies that are often easy to fix, he says.The power supply to servers is one place that energy is unnecessarily lost. One-third of the electricity running through a typical power supply leaks out as heat, he says. That’s a waste of energy and also creates additional costs in the cooling required because of the heat added to a building, he says.Rather than waste the electricity and incur the additional costs for cooling, Google has power supplies specially made that are 90% efficient. .."Google deja nu-i plac serverele, vrea ceva mai bun, what's next..http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/0/BCFA4BB3447790ACCC2571A4001C6703?OpenDocument
