根据现有信息,如果包括在建的数据中心,Google共有36个数据中心,其中美国19个、欧洲12个、俄罗斯1个、南美1个、亚洲3个。Google并非完全独享这些数据中心,它们也向其他公司出租空间。数据中心的选址标准为如下几点:大量的廉价电力、绿色能源(更注重可再生能源)、靠近河流或湖泊(设备冷却需要大量水源)、用地广阔(隐秘性和安全性)、其他数据中心的距离(数据中心之间的快速链接)以及税收优惠。 Based on available information, Google includes a total of 36 data centers, including 19 in the United States, 12 in Europe, 1 in Russia, 1 in South America and 3 in Asia, including the data center under construction. Google does not have exclusive access to these data centers; they also rent out space to other companies. Data centers are sited to the following points: large amounts of cheap electricity, green energy (more emphasis on renewable energy), close to rivers or lakes (equipment cooling requires a lot of water), vast land (privacy and security), other data Distance from center (quick link between data centers) and tax benefits.
