Intacs , the U.S. site devoted to news of web hosting, had fun speculating about the number of servers available to large corporations Net to draw a flowchart .
Intacs was therefore based on estimates, including those of the Data Center Knowledge , to realize his scheme.
Regarding Google, the site has used figures provided by the company 4 years ago, while the number of servers of the search engine was estimated at 450 000 units. Intacs has revised that figure upward, since now the estimated number of Google servers to more than one million, or about 2% of all servers worldwide. An impressive, albeit taken lightly puisqu'absolument not validated by the company.
Far, far behind, there is Intel and its 100 000 servers , the host 1 & 1 with 70 000 units and 000 units with 65 OVH. The latter figure is also wrong, since last December, the company, through its CEO Octave Klab, claimed just 72,739 servers .
For others, such as Microsoft, Yahoo or Amazon, the site considers their individual park 50 000, although none report its information.
If the figures are clearly advertised as approximate, the overall result still offers an interesting perspective on the distribution of global server park.
We may also note that even if the number of servers Google has not changed since 2006, the company would still remained well ahead .
