Google’s Web Server and Data Center Revealed
Google has been running on its own servers at its own data center for some time now. So, have you ever wonder how Google’s servers and data center look like?

Google custom server features a power supply that integrates a battery (yup, a 12-volt battery), allowing it to function as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
