The green lights are the server status LEDs reflecting from the front of the servers<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-2219188-158CAFC1000005DC-546_964x641.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Iowa campus network room, where routers and switches allow data centers to talk to each other. The fiber cables run along the yellow cable trays near the ceiling.<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-0-158CAE05000005DC-277_964x641.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Even the water pipes reflect Google's brand: These colorful pipes are responsible for carrying water in and out of an Oregon data center. The blue pipes supply cold water and the red pipes return the warm water back to be cooled.<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-0-158CAE90000005DC-787_964x641.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In Hamina, Finland, Google chose to renovate an old paper mill to take advantage of the building's infrastructure as well as its proximity to the Gulf of Finland's cooling waters.<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-0-158CAEEF000005DC-345_964x641.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Google's server farm in Douglas County, Iowa<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-2219188-158D033F000005DC-527_964x508.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The exterior of a Dulles, Oregon server farm<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-2219188-158D033B000005DC-17_964x506.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Denise Harwood, a Google Engineer, diagnoses an overheated CPU. For more than a decade, Google has built some of the world's most efficient servers.<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-2219188-158CA78F000005DC-369_964x641.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A Google data center in Council Bluffs, Iowa.<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-2219188-158CA8AA000005DC-477_964x641.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Each server rack has four switches, connected by a different coloured cable. Colours are kept the same throughout data centres so staff know which one to replace in case of failure.<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-2219188-158CE597000005DC-42_964x507.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Google now lets you explore its data centers with Street View.<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=35.898645,-81.548671&spn=0.005945,0.012306&sll=35.900197,-81.547024&layer=c&cid=7373938251588581469&panoid=QJRzrgIKmN4uPQg7lmOGww&cbp=13,119.83,,0,3.72&gl=US&t=m&z=17&cbll=35.898621,-81.548447" target="_blank">Click here to view.</a>Read more<a href="http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/gallery/#/" target="_blank">Google - See where the Internet lives</a></blockquote>
