Visit a Google Data Center ... if you dare!

Google pulls back the curtain on its security and data protection processes

By Keith Shaw Add a new comment

April 25, 2011, 9:31 AM — Google has released a video tour of one of its data center to showcase the security and data protections that are in place.

If you're thinking about breaking into a Google data center, look out! This video tour showcases a lot of the security and data protection features, including lots of security guards and biometric scanners of all sorts.

Still, we think Jack Bauer could think of some ways of getting in. (just kidding!)

Enterprises are turning to the Cloud to improve business agility, reduce expenses and accelerate business innovation.
