The Google Story ​

In 1995, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google's founders future meet in a course for graduation from Stanford University, USA. After discussions ferrenhas due to different views, and Larry Segey eventually arriving at the ideas in common on one of the great challenges of computing: the obtaining of relevant data in large quantities of information. In other words, the search. ​

In January 1996, it started the project BackRub, the ancestor of Google. The project received its name because of its unique ability to track the links on the web. Larry, which is highlighted by its ability to hardware, makes an architecture of servers based on low-cost machines. ​

Continuing its work in 1998, the friends bought a terabyte hard drives in a very large storage capacity for the season. Came the first data center (data center) of Google, located in a room of one of the founders. Google gained popularity and consumes the bandwidth of the university as a small little monster. While the spiders - computer programs that map the web - working, the Internet throughout the university simply stopped. The project would win a new seat. ​

Encouraged by David Filo, founder of the portal Yahoo!, Page and Brin have continued their work. They were indebted due to the expense and the company needed an investor. This investor was Andy Bechtolsheim, a founder of Sun From Andy, the two friends got a check for $ 100,000 dollars. ​

The check was addressed to Google Inc. (still there) since the company name was to be Googol (the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros), thereby representing the magnitude of the project, then we can say that the name came to Google from an error. So Larry and Sergey had to formalize the company. The first site was a garage. At the end of the year, the search system has responded to 10,000 requests per day. ​
