Google is building another data center in Oklahoma, USA

It seems that the “Corporation of Good” is doing well. In general, despite some temporary difficulties with new projects (Google Wallet, Google Plus), the company works (and earns) quite well. In connection with the advent of new services and users, the company management decided to build another data center, this time in the US, Oklahoma.

This state already has one data center, and at first it was decided to simply increase the capacity of this center. But a little later, management decided to build another one with the first data center. Thus, the capacity will be doubled. Hire a large number of people will not be in the state will take an additional 50 people.

According to experts, the construction of a new data center will cost about $ 700 million. Currently, the Oklahoma data center employs about 100 people. The center itself is used to work with information services such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google Search and Google Plus. With the addition of another data center, employees receive a cafe, a gym, a game room, and all related benefits.

The data center number 1 from Oklahoma was spent about 600 million US dollars. Now the amount is somewhat higher due to the fact that data center No. 2 will be more “advanced”, and not only in terms of technology, but also ergonomics and design.
