It's interesting to learn that Google is building a new mega data center in Finland that will actually be cooled by seawater!
From Google's blog:
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.
The new data center is strategically located to specifically serve the Nordic market and growing markets in Russia and Eastern-Europe. Data Center Knowledge has more on the story
