Peeking under Google’s Hood
I am here having a great time at Idea Festival in Louisville, KY.
Yesterday Craig Neville-Manning (Chief Engineer, NY office) spoke on Google’s technology and architecture.
This is really the architecture of the future in my opinion. I have written previous posts on the topic.
Low cost computer parts put together for distributed processing and storage. Failure of individual parts is expected and planned for. Everything is redundant so that no individual part’s failure impacts the whole.
The technology feels very organic and “natural”. It will be interesting to see the progression of these types of server farms that Google is creating.
For more Information Internet News had in interesting article on the topic a while back.
