Google has recently announced that it would be investing approximately $600 million USD in building a new data center facility in North Carolina. The new facility would have server farms that Google would be using in its next generation of search and database-intensive tools, especially its new "Similarity Engine," that removes redundancy in its crawls and results delivery.

Officials at Google stated that the new facility would have slightly over 200 employees, most of whom would be network and server specialists. Google's first research and growing facility would still remain in California. Google also has another facility in the state Arizona that it had been working on last year.
