This is one of the more interesting videos I’ve seen lately. It’s a short 2 minute 30 second clip that shows the inside of the Facebook datacenter but more importantly talks about the tasks they’re up against like having to store 2,000 photos a second or 40 billion a month. All that with a handful of engineers. It’s pretty incredible actually. Enjoy the video.

    Very interesting video. Amazing that Facebook is only 900 people.. I would imagine that Google had that same sort of feel in it's early days. That very real sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

    The 900 people part really shocked me as well. I can't even believe that. I remember when VMware was only 900 people however we weren't storing a million photos every day. Our customers might have been doing that come to think of it. :)
