(as you might notice: the further the Dutch football team gets in the World Cup, the shorter my posts. The next match for the Orange Army is on sunday, so no worries there) Do you remember when Google disclosed their server technolody to the world? They did so on 1 April 2009, making everyone think it was some kind of prank. That was also helped by the fact that the Google servers seemed... duct taped..

Turned out they were dead serious. Actually, each server was equiped with its own UPS, so downtime would not be a problem.

Ever since that bone, Google has gone into hermit mode again when it comes to their infrastructure and hardware. But it seems something has leaked.

The search giant calls it the Server Sandwich. Basically, they are wrapping two motherboards around a heatsink. That sink is liquid cooled.

Are they actually using it? Who knows. But at least they are looking in to it (or just trying to foil anyone who might have the same idea and actually wants to put it into practice...)
