One of Google's most fun web-based facilities is StreetView, which
lets you walk down a virtual version of almost any street in the world.
You can even take a StreetView tour inside buildings, such as some of
the world's best museums and art galleries.
Conversely, one of Google's most closely-guarded secrets (literally)
has always been its datacentres; the buildings that hold the servers
which contain all of Google's content.
But now, Google has added a virtual tour of one of its US datacentres
to StreetView. You can walk straight in through the front door, past
the noticeboard and the pinball machine, up the stairs, and into the
datacentre itself. You can even walk among the racks of servers. And
all you need is a web browser.
