Thats not all.
See what their site says ( I had quoted this earier I think).


"To provide the net's best search results, Google operates what is
probably
the world's largest Linux cluster that puts many supercomputing centers to
shame. For example, the current cluster contains 800 TB of disk storage
and has an aggregate I/O bandwidth of about 150 GB/sec (that's bytes, not
bits). "
