Google Operating System

Google OS is axiomatic

Google OS is axiomatic because the speculative content orbiting its concept is structured on a vertebral axis of axioms. A posteriori Google OS is a conclusion, so much so that predicative logic jumps the boundaries of
elementary epistemology directly into tautology. Google OS is a Boolean truth.

Server farms are the infrastructure of a global computing platform. Google's distributed computing platform has evolved from 8.000 servers in 2001 to an estimated 500.000 node server clusters worldwide, today. The multi petabyte, tera floating point operations per second structure will manage Google's web based operating systems. It is referred to as Googleplex.

In the agricultural landscape of Oregon, 130 km east of Portland, just on the border with Washington, Google's latest server farm is an immense mammoth complex the size of two football fields. Two water towers four stories high will cool the node server conglomerate of this data center on the Columbia River. The company has never officially commented on its Project 02 Supercomputer.

Meanwhile YouOS is the first functional web-based operating system. Its interface is complete with File Explorer, Trash Bin, Chat, RichTextEditor, Instant Messaging and even a Web Browser. And it is a genuine preview of the GoogleOS. Internet connected machines will boot into a web browser that will connect by default to a GoogleOS server and will run the operating system. Remotely stored and accessed, the application will be platform independent, it will run on a PC, on a Mac, even on a mobile phone.

Another speculation that falls into place is Google Drive, an online storage facility. Codenamed Platypus the GDrive will virtually offer users infinite online storage space and back-up utilities irrelevant of the device used, location or software.

Googleplex is much more than the computing platform for the GoogleOS. It is a teraflop, multi petabyte global network with distributed datacenters, multiple file storages locations managed via a filesystem, network shared memory and remote procedure call administration. It will eventually comprise operating systems, HDD, CPU, and so on and so forth.

Googleplex will not only host the company's web-based operating system, it will also potentially reunite online all the aspects of a computer. The users will access a percentage of the Googlepex's resources through an interface device but essentially their computer will be a nano of a Google Server Farm.
