Hamina Data Center

Hello Hamina!

Google is very happy to be constructing a new data center in Hamina, Finland. When fully developed, this facility will be a critical part of our infrastructure for many years to come.

Limited testing of the facility should be underway in 2010 and the center should be fully operational later that year. Eventually, we plan to employ approximately 50 people, ranging from Linux system administrators and experienced data center managers to security contractors and technology assistants. We’re confident this EUR200 million investment will be good for Hamina, Google and our Internet users.

In the meantime, we’re eager to share more information about what we’re doing. On this site, you’ll find information about:

• what exactly a data center is
• the kinds of jobs that are available
• what Google does
• how to contact us
• information about our data center efficiency projects

We hope that you use this site to familiarize yourself with the Hamina data center, and feel free to share this site with anyone who may be interested.

We appreciate your help and support, and feel honored to be part of the Hamina community.
