Amazing Photos from inside Google Data Centre, Plus Street View [Photos]

Google, which probably owns the largest number of computer servers in the world and a sizeable chunk of the internet itself, has finally opened the doors of some its data centers to the curious, prying eyes of outsiders.

Google operates a number of major data centers around the world, mostly in the US and Europe, which act as hubs for its smaller, regional installations. In this case, the tech giant Google has taken most of the wraps off its Lenoir, North Carolina data center, which has been in operation since 2008. This makes it one of Google’s older data centers, and according to Wired it will soon be obsolete and in need of refitting (which is probably why Google is showing us it).

Starting today, you can use Google Street View to walk around the Lenoir data center.

In addition to Lenoir, Google has also provided some utterly beautiful photos of its other data centers.
