Google才當5分鐘,全球網路流量暴跌40%
ETtoday 科技中心/綜合報導 2013年08月18日 15:32 搜尋引擎龍頭Google(谷歌),在台灣時間17日上午7時52分至7時57分,發生罕見的大當機,中斷了1至5分鐘的服務。網路流量分析公司GoSquared談到,這麼一當不只讓全球網路流量暴跌4成,也讓該公司損失約54萬美元(約台幣1614萬元)。 據了解,昨天Google搜尋、Gmail信箱、YouTube和Google Drive網路硬碟等,出現短暫的中斷服務。GoSquared即時追蹤網路內的頁面瀏覽量,發現在這短短5分鐘內,全球網路流量就下降40%,顯示全世界的使用者對Google非常依賴。 如果以Google第二季營收141億美元來算,每分鐘約10.8萬美元,當機5分鐘的損失,就高達54萬美元。即便當時Bing和雅虎搜索服務正常,但還是沒辦法吸引Google用戶的注意,且谷哥在恢復正常後,其網路流量又出現大幅度增長。 對此,Google坦承當下服務曾經短暫中斷,至於原因則無可奉告,且很快的就解決問題了。事實上,今年今年4月份,Google Drive和Gmail也曾出現大範圍當機,只是當時主頁還是正常的。 |
Inside the Internet: Google allows first ever look at the eight vast data centres that power the online world
•Data centres range from vast warehouses in Iowa to a converted paper mill in Finland •Buildings are so large Google even provides bicycles for engineers to get around them •Street View tour of North Carolina facility reveals Stormtrooper standing guard By Mark Prigg PUBLISHED: 18:22 GMT, 17 October 2012 Google has given a rare glimpse inside the vast data centres around the globe that power its services. 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.

Google's major data centers are located in: •Berkeley County, S.C. •Council Bluffs, Iowa •Douglas County, Ga. •Mayes County, Okla. •Lenoir, N.C. •The Dalles, Ore. •Hamina, Finland •St. Ghislain, Belgium. New data centers are currently being built in Quilicura, Chile; Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. 'Very few people have stepped inside Google’s data centers, and for good reason: our first priority is the privacy and security of your data, and we go to great lengths to protect it, keeping our sites under close guard,' the firm said. 'While we’ve shared many of our designs and best practices, and we’ve been publishing our efficiency data since 2008, only a small set of employees have access to the server floor itself. 'Today, for the first time, you can see inside our data centers and pay them a virtual visit. 'On Where the Internet lives, our new site featuring beautiful photographs by Connie Zhou, you’ll get a never-before-seen look at the technology, the people and the places that keep Google running.' The site features photos from inside some of the eight data centers that Google Inc. already has running in the U.S., Finland and Belgium. Google is also building data centers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Chile. Virtual tours of a North Carolina data center also will be available through Google's 'Street View' service, which is usually used to view photos of neighborhoods around the world. The photographic access to Google's data centers coincides with the publication of a Wired magazine article about how the company builds and operates them. The article is written by Steven Levy, a journalist who won Google's trust while writing 'In The Plex,' a book published last year about the company's philosophy and evolution. |
