pronetadvertising.com — Have you ever wondered how many data centers Google owns? Currently Google owns 39 data centers and they are all listed at this site. It is interesting to see how much you can learn from all of their data centers.

Trying desperately to think of a reason to care.

No, it's probably their data centers. Here's a blog from a Google Infrastructure guru talking about the Big Daddy changes: <a class="user" href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/bigdaddy/">http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/bigdaddy/</a> He gives the IP addresses for the two data centers in the entry, and calls them as such. Not that calling them data centers makes them such, but Google has been increasingly open about their processes lately, and I take their word on things like that. Remember, this is Google that a) runs servers without the cover on b) doesn't use RAID c) developed their own OS and File System and d) and whose average server is supposedly a PIII 1Ghz. Everything they do is weird, different or strange is some way.

The answer to that probably is "Cisco Global Load Balancers and Content Switches". Here is another site with similar information: <a class="user" href="http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/internet/google-data-centers.htm">http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/internet/google-data-centers.htm</a> Why couldn't each data center have 1 IP address? The data center IP is irrelevant to most people. The Cisco Global Load Balancers get you to the least busy / closest site, and a Content Switch at the site parses the URL to see which application you were requesting, and directs you to the least active server within that site. The Google IPs in DNS are most likely just the IPs of their load balancers. I'm pretty sure they don't use clusters. It's just straight replication. They have over 400,000 servers. If one dies, there's plenty more to take over.

I expect that most of Google's servers aren't house in company-owned data centers. For example, Google colo's a lot of equipment at SAVVIS' DC3 facility (along with Yahoo!, and others): Racks and Racks and Racks of 80-plus-to-a-rack servers.

for some reason, there's no title showing for this.

Trash indeed.SEO "gurus" are as bad as pyramid schemes.
