"It has been announced\u00A0today that Google is making a new investment in Ireland, bringing a \u20AC75m data center to Dublin.\r\n\r\nGoogle has acquired an 11-acre plot of land and an existing building in order to build the facility which will help run the company's online services and provide 30 full-time and contractor jobs.\r\n\r\nBig tech companies are often attracted to Ireland by favorable tax conditions, although the weather may have also been a factor in this latest move, with Ireland's cool climate helping keep servers from running hot in an efficient way.\r\n\r\nGoogle says that the center\u00A0will rank amongst the most energy-efficient data centres in the world,\u00A0using advanced air-cooling technology currently being used in Google's current rented data center in Dublin. This technology will take advantage of\u00A0Ireland\u2019s cool climate, using outside air to cool computers instead of far more expensive and less efficient air-conditioning units.\r\n\r\nThe facility is in addition to Google's existing 2000 staff in Ireland. Facebook is another consumer Internet tech giant with a major presence there, while Twitter has also recently\u00A0announced plans for an office in Dublin."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
