Welcome to Finland, Google IV
As reported earlier, Google is opening a server farm in Hamina, Finland. Finland is a good location for server farms, because of the cool weather, availability of sea water, safety, good infrastructure and well educated people.
Yesterday Google celebrated the inauguration, and Finns were excited about the opportunity to see how this former paper factory now looks like. Only Google didn't allow the guests to go inside, but the celebration was hosted in a marquee area in the front yard. The minister of Employment and Economy was allowed a quick visit into a couple of rooms - forbidden to take any pictures - and then escorted back outside to the circus acts and other entertainment.
Journalists interviewed a few people who start to work in the plant, but they were not allowed to say anything about their work.
