Google data centers lead the industry in efficiency and carbon footprint, and regularly introduce innovative new technologies and approaches in our tireless quest for the ideal data center portfolio. Google's Data Center Operations (DCOps) team acts as the stewards of the physical infrastructure that powers the world’s information. We operate the mechanical, electrical, and control systems that keep our servers running 24/7/365. Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
