Colorful Pipes In The Dalles

These pipes carry water in and out of Google's The Dalles, Ore., data center. The blue pipes supply cold water and the red pipes return the warm water back to be cooled.

Blue-Lit Servers

Twin banks of servers at the data center in Douglas County, Ga. use energy-thrifty blue LEDs as monitor lights.

Google's Big Ear In Iowa

This massive antenna in Council Bluffs, Ia., receives signals for Google's new access service division which brings fiber optics to residential homes all over the globe. These antennas are also the primary signal source for hundreds of TV channels that make up Google Fiber's TV service.

Curtains In Council Bluffs

Plastic curtains hang in a network room inside Google's Council Bluffs, Ia., data center. Cold air is served up through the floor, and the clear plastic barriers help keep the cold air in while keeping hot air out.

Reusing Old Tanks

Google used what it could of an old paper mill for its data center in Hamina, Finland, converting these tanks that were previously used in the paper making process.

Routers and switches inside the network room of Google's Council Bluffs, Ia., data center. The fiber optic network inside the building can run at speeds that are more than 200,000 times faster than a typical home Internet connection. The fiber cables run along the yellow cable trays near the ceiling.

Wow, Wonderful
