In my first post Google Instant: gamble? " , I speculated on the number of queries generated by additional queries anticipated (via Javascript / Ajax - in the background) to central servers that are needed to save the time allotted to users.
In a post that details the backroom of Google Instant , an engineer gave a figure: 5 to 7 requests anticipated for an effective search (ie a query in the old mode of operation). So, 5-7 times more physical activity for the same human activity! It's finally good: the machine is ready to do anything to serve us. For many, until now, it was just the opposite .... ;-)
If one accepts the 2 million machines at Google, this change would have required hundreds of thousands of additional servers.
same time, these massive extensions infrastructure is "business as usual in Mountain View:
- the start of Universal Search had to lead to deployment of the same order of magnitude
- the monitoring of social networks Real-time a - to a lesser extent - also involved a lot of additional machines
