The New Google Data Center in Berkeley County, South Carolina
In 2007, Google announced plans to build a $600 million dollar datacenter on a 210 acre site in the Mt. Holly Commerce Park in Berkeley County in Goose Creek not far from Charleston. The new center is expected to initially create 200 new jobs. The jobs to be created at this facility will have work shifts spread out over 24 hours.
At each data center, the company hires senior positions first such as a site manager, system administrators, technology assistants, Linux administrators and food service workers for a company cafeteria. Reportedly, workers will earn $48,000 a year on the average with unlimited sick days, free at work meals and stock options. The data facility will house banks of computers to process Google data searches, map and photo requests and e-mails.
According to the Google web site, limited testing of the facility should have been started in the first quarter of 2008 and fully operational in the second half of 2008.
