Revealed: The Secret Gear Connecting Google's Online Empire
http://www.wired.com/2015/06/google-reveals-secret-gear-connects-online-empire/
Seeing such technology as a competitive advantage, Google continued to
keep its wider operation under wraps. But it did reveal how it handled
the networking links between its data centers, and now, as part of a
larger effort to share its fundamental technologies with the world at
large, it's lifting the curtain inside its data centers as well. This
morning, at a conference in Silicon Valley, Amin Vahdat, the former
academic who oversees Google's networking technologies, will detail
the company's first five generations of networking gear--hardware and
software that spans nearly a decade of work. That may seem like inside
baseball in the extreme, but his talk serves as a signpost for the
near-future of the Internet. Google's network shows where everyone
else is headed.
