The Datacenter as a Computer

---

This book describes warehouse-scale computers (WSCs), the computing platforms that power cloud
computing and all the great web services we use every day. It discusses how these new systems treat
the datacenter itself as one massive computer designed at warehouse scale, with hardware and software
working in concert to deliver good levels of internet service performance. The book details the
architecture of WSCs and covers the main factors influencing their design, operation, and cost
structure, and the characteristics of their software base. Each chapter contains multiple real-world
examples, including detailed case studies and previously unpublished details of the infrastructure
used to power Google’s online services. Targeted at the architects and programmers of today’s
WSCs, this book provides a great foundation for those looking to innovate in this fascinating and
important area, but the material will also be broadly interesting to those who just want to understand the infrastructure powering the internet.
