愛他、怕他、利用他──直擊Google五大據點

2013-12-10 天下雜誌 537期 作者：王曉玟

.......Google小心翼翼，因為這科技巨擘正悄悄把台灣植入了自己最重要的心臟地帶。
如果說，搜尋演算法是這家全球科技龍頭的腦，全球十三座資料中心，就是這科技巨人的心臟，把資料如同血液一般，輸送到巨人全身。
四分之一秒的Gmail之旅
每天，二十億人使用Google，五十億筆搜尋跋山涉水，迢迢趕赴資料中心。
一封Gmail的旅程，從你在家裡的筆電按下「傳送」開始，經過你家的網路線、社區的電線桿、海底電纜、到Google資料中心、再乘著地底光纖纜線、換乘電信公司骨幹網路，環繞地球一圈，終於抵達收信人的平板或手機。
每一趟Gmail旅程，平均花四分之一秒。每一件來往於亞洲的資訊，未來多將通過彰濱的中心傳送。
隨著十二月中Google彰濱資料中心開幕營運，台灣，也一躍而成Google雲端魔法不可或缺的一環。
對今年資訊外商採購零成長、苦思轉型的台灣來說，此番投資，讓Google成了台灣的最佳盟友。
台灣逾四兆產值的資訊硬體產業，以及兩百萬工程師，都迫不及待要參與Google規劃的未來。
科技硬體企業，從台積電、聯發科、鴻海、廣達、華碩、宏碁、宸鴻，莫不急著搭上Google列車，切入智慧手機、資料中心市場。
Google  愛他 怕他 利用他
這個科技巨人的一舉一動，讓台灣科技產業又愛又怕。有些失去光環的公司，因為擠入Google供應鏈，又敗部復活。也有大紅大紫的企業，因為受Google箝制，頓失成長引擎。
台灣科技業，對Google的矛盾情感，好比是陷入熱戀，既期待，又怕受傷害。 537期Google　愛他　怕他　利用他
