I know /pd talked about Google's 1 Billion Dollar Invested.
Apparently they are planning a server farm.
More info @ Times Of India

Ain't that $ 1 billion for charity? |
deployment of industrial strength cluster servers in a .in zone is not a good choice.. infrastructure assets deployment within .in zone is poor.. electricity, bandwidth and all the CERTIn issues are in the spotlight.
spending to create another development DC, between now and YR2010 is a good thing. After all S/w developers within a .in zone is abundantly available...
servers farms..?? imho-- that's pure speculation.. no doubt a good one!!
India just does not have the backbone to support such HAS (high availabity servers) clusters, unless googles is inventing thier own backbone..Now that would be a plan....

Google is looking for Strategic Negotiator candidates with experience in...(i)dentification, selection, and negotiation of dark fiber contracts both in metropolitan areas and over long distances as part of development of a global backbone network," the posting reads in part.

..go figure!! |
>industry sources say that the Indian centre will be the company's second such facility in Asia and seventh globally.
thats great to hear...and pd/ >Google's proposal to set up a server farm in India comes on the back of increasing number of internet users in the country.
instead of accessing the international sever, a local server would reduce the cost you see...
as you told they need thier own backbone...
i welcome it so that i could get a job in Google,india after i finish my graduation .. Lol... |
iTWire also reports the same thing.

We all know Google wouldn't do it if there weren't high profit margins involved.
Also Bill Gates announced a few Billions for India last year, so a possible move to thwart that. |
