    I said around 10^40, it might be 10^46 or so.

    What i mean in our universe and our technology thats what i tought was the largest quantity to measure things.. I mean that is an insane number...

    10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 - 10^40 :eek:

    Knowing full well they use an enormous amount of bandwidth, I wonder how much they actually pay per GB. I remember a few months ago hearing about Google going on a dark fibre buying spree .. I'm sure they're managing to keep bandwidth costs to a serious minimum!

    Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.... I'd be interested in hearing where you got the idea of 10^40 from though.

    They seem to have adsl because their pages load quite fast and I'm using windows by the way.

    I was guessing it took about 1.21 JigaBytes of bandwidth a day to make their flux capacitor work right.

    Probably, a company of that size. Seems right they would have that.

    I have the impression their connections are a mite faster than ADSL. But you did make me smile. :)

    Google is powered by 1.5 million servers. Assuming each server consumers 1000 gigs a month, you would have 1,500,000,000 gigs per month or 50 million gigs per day.

    Well, that's my guess. The only thing I know that is true is they have 1.5 million servers.

    There was something in the UW video. Jeff Dean says how many gigabytes they process, something like 200 gigabytes a second, I cannot remember. So if anyone wants to look for it. . . .

    It would have to be some incredible number. Heck they are probably their own isp. Unlimited access directly into the backbone and many many spots.

    Just the sheer number of sites they crawl everyday would make most hosts cringe.

    My guess... 10^them... Well it's really very hard to predict... they may be having anything from 10 terabytes to 100000 terabytes...

    There own servers as mentioned by Brad...

    That's why they are called BIG G...

    I'd be interested in hearing what your source is for that info. What I have heard places the number of servers right around 100,000.

    Last year there were speculations that it was up near 100000 servers.

    I seem to remember watching something on TV a few years back saying that every computer that is used in the company is used also. I guess a bit like that SETI project... where it uses remaining processing power.
