Eξαγορά των Data Centers της Lamda Helix. Μπορεί στην Ευρώπη της ψηφιακής μετάβασης να παραμένουμε ουραγοί, όπως αποδεικνύει η νέα έρευνα του ΣΕΒ που μας θέλει στην 27η θέση στην Ε.Ε. των 28, όμως το υπουργείο Ανάπτυξης και η κυβέρνηση πανηγυρίζουν ότι η Ελλάδα έχει καταστεί πλέον «διεθνές ψηφιακό σταυροδρόμι».

Η αισιοδοξία οφείλεται φυσικά στις προαναγγελίες για επενδύσεις από πολυεθνικές όπως η Microsoft, που σκοπεύει να ξεκινήσει από το Λαύριο την εγκατάσταση των νέων Data Center για τη νοτιοανατολική Ευρώπη - δηλαδή χώρους αποθήκευσης, επεξεργασίας και διαμοιρασμού τεράστιου όγκου ψηφιακών δεδομένων, μέσω της τεχνολογίας «cloud» (υπολογιστικού νέφους).

Server Farms Writ Large: Super-Sizing the Cloud Campus

(Photo: Rich Miller) FOREST CITY, N.C. – When it comes to data center operations and maintenance, walking is old school. The hallway outside the office at Facebook’s data center is lined with Xooter kick scooters, which allow staffers to zoom across data halls in buildings which are a quarter-mile long – the equivalent of three Wal-Marts lined end-to-end. The scooters are no longer enough. Facebook also operates a small fleet of electric golf carts, which staffers use to cruise across the company’s 160-acre campus here in western North Carolina, which houses two major data centers and three smaller data storage facilities.

40 maps that explain the internet. The internet increasingly pervades our lives, delivering information to us no matter where we are.

40 maps that explain the internet

It takes a complex system of cables, servers, towers, and other infrastructure, developed over decades, to allow us to stay in touch with our friends and family so effortlessly. Here are 40 maps that will help you better understand the internet — where it came from, how it works, and how it's used by people around the world. How the internet was created Before the internet, there was the ARPANET Before the internet, there was the ARPANETARPANET, the precursor to the modern internet, was an academic research project funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency, a branch of the military known for funding ambitious research projects without immediate commercial or military applications.

First Ever Glimpse Into Facebook's Massive Arctic Server Farm. Have you ever wondered where Facebook lives?

First Ever Glimpse Into Facebook's Massive Arctic Server Farm

There is no one line answer for that but we can start digging 70 miles from the Arctic circle, in Luleå, Sweden, where back in 2013 Facebook opened its massive data farm. Located deep in the woods of northern Sweden, the server farm is designed with sustainability in mind. It’s powered by the renewable energy provided by the hydro-electric power plants installed on the surrounding rivers, while its clever design also utilizes the cold arctic air to make the whole system 10% more efficient and use almost 40% less power than traditional data centers. Opening up these impressive data centers is a necessity for huge companies like Facebook, Google and so on, to provide a stable data stream for users around the world while also storing huge backups in case of systems failure.

From there it was sent digitally along fiber optic cables from my home to my Internet Service Provider's port servers. From there the post traveled to Google's servers and from there it travels via the global internet network to computers around the world. To reach your computer or phone this blog post has traveled along thousands of miles of terrestrial and submarine cables. The Infrapedia - Global Internet Network, Datacenter and Infrastructure Atlas is an interactive map of the data centers, undersea cables, premium vendors, IXPs and networks which make up the global internet. The map is fully interactive, which means you can select individual cables and data centers on the map to discover information about who they are owned by and when they were built.Where available this information also includes a link to the service's Wikipedia page.

They reveal an intricate maze of computers that process Internet search requests, show YouTube video clips and distribute email for millions of people. With hundreds of thousands of servers, colourful cables and even bicycles so engineers can get around quickly, they range from a converted paper mill in Finland to custom made server farms in Iowa.
