Google's Newest Data Center Is Up And Running
Googleville will be one of the most powerful data centers on the planet.
One of the reasons Google decided to locate in The Dalles community was because the company needed a fiber connection, and the city had built a fiber-optic loop to their site. Rob Enderle, an analyst at San Jose-based Enderle Group, was able to add a bit more information to the mystery.
"All I know is the location has to do with the power station and cooling water supply in close proximity, suggesting that this thing is really big and incredibly power-hungry," Rob Enderle, an analyst at San Jose-based Enderle Group said. "Labor is cheap, with a $30,000 average salary per year in the area, suggesting equally low living expenses."
