Google sends its data centers in sea voyage around the world

It's no secret that Google is building its own data centers, but they are sorely lacking. The main obstacle to increasing the number of data centers is not the lack of financial opportunities, but the shortage of electricity. This energy shortage gap was decided by Google very efficiently - Google wants to use wave splashes and tides to create energy in data centers.


In late August, Google received a patent for the “ water-based data center “, which describes various options for obtaining energy from water, and at the same time, the ability to use water as cooling.

One of the proposed methods is the creation of mobile data centers on ships and barges by placing containers filled with servers and other server equipment on them.

Another method is the implementation of the data center on land, which will receive energy from the waves and tides.

Google will not be the first to plan a container-server scheme. Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Dell and Sun Microsystems already have it all, and Microsoft recently announced that it is building one of the world's largest data centers using Chicago-based containers near Chicago. Each container has its own servers, storage systems and network equipment. The modular model, according to the plan of designers, due to the possibility of moving containers to the right place, should contribute to maximum efficiency and to obtain the most balanced computing power per square meter.

There are a lot of positive moments, due to mobility, the speed of deployment of computing and telecommunication centers will be achieved, rather than the traditional ground data centers. Starting from economic efficiency and ending with the instant deployment of the computing infrastructure during humanitarian disasters in various regions of the earth. Often, such events occur in close proximity to water, such as rivers or the ocean.

And finally, it turns out Google was nurturing the idea of ​​creating a prototype of a data center on the system - a container-server from the very beginning of its existence, having filed in the past a patent application for the introduction of such technologies in his garage in Mountain View.
