Google bought the former paper mill to use as a future data center



Google bought the former paper mill to use as a future data center
Google bought the former paper mill to use as a future data centerIn February of 2009, Google has paid about USD 52 million for an abandoned paper mill in Hamina, Finland. This plant is very old. Nearly half a century old.Interestingly, part of the paper mill building has been purchased Google including an underground tunnel. The tunnel is used to draw water from the Gulf of Finland. Initially, the Baltic Sea cold water used to cool the steam power plant. Google and view it as a way to cool its servers later.Some of the robot by remote cameras have been operated under the water on the road to the oil pipeline to check for active tunnels through granite bedrock beneath the plant.
 
Unexpected along 450 meters of all the tunnels are in very good condition. And in May 2010, the granite tunnel is used by Google to the server cooling. Granite tunnel can save electrical energy is typically used in data centers in the world."When someone shows we have chosen the next data center site and it was a paper mill which was built in 1953, your first reaction, if possible How to create a data center in a building half a century?" Said Joe Kava, Google's head of data center operations and construction, as quoted by Wired and SidomiNews written.Joe Kava cite this as a prime example of how our Google think outside the box 'Pls build a data center. Google is working to create a facility that efficient and good for the world around Them. But more than that, Google data center in Hamina is ideal for the green era of the internet."But we were very excited to learn that these plants are used for sea water cooling-We want to make it. As a green facility possible. And reuse of existing infrastructure is a big part of it," added Joe Kava.Google is at the Forefront of this movement. Building new facilities but with old age, not only in Finland. But in Belgium, Ireland, and across the United States (U.S.). Other Internet companies Google Will follow soon.
Such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook. Last year, Facebook opens data center in Prineville, Oregon was operated without cooling. Server with external water cooling.And recently, Facebook has announced that it will build a second facility in Sweden.
