Jonathan Kumy each year publishes a report on the significant energy consumption of data centers in New York Times. Google representatives told him that data centers consume a corporation less than 1 percent of world total electricity consumed by all data centers, which in 2010 amounted to about 198.8 billion. kWh.

Thus, according to the author of the report, Google computers can have the total capacity equal to approximately 220 MW, equal to about 900,000 power servers.

S Google data centers consumed about 0.01 % of the world's electricity, while using 1% of all electricity combined data centers. These figures are a manifestation of a very efficient infrastructure of the company, compared to the other, and also talks about low power consumption of each individual server, said Kumy.

Also, not so long ago we wrote that one of the largest consumers of tape cartridges in the modern world. Google is. , Which consumes about 50 000. LTO- Cartridge. each quarter: massive computing infrastructure requires a major backup.
