Green Google: The Hamina data centre in Finland

Google tries to be green. The company is certainly investing a lot in green energy – although part of this is commerical wisdom; Google consumes a lot of energy and traditional prices will only rise.

Data centres are big factory like buildings which house all the computer servers companies like Google, Yahoo and AOL use. It’s big business. After the video from Google about their Hamina efforts there’s a data centre infographic that might help put some of this into perspective.
