A Review at the History of Google

History of Google.

In the spring of 1955, they are known in an act that arranges the University of Stanford for the candidates of their career of Doctorate in Information technology, Sergey Brin (23 years then) and Larry Page (24) who they were the founders of Google, and currently they have president's lists and CEO respectively.

In the autumn of 1995, Larry and Sergey begin to work in the University of Stanford for the "Digital Project Library." Larry acquires experience in design web, besides Electric Engineer's title, while Sergey becomes expert in the data handling obtaining Graduate's title in information technology and Mathematical Sciences. They begin then to create an algorithm that will be used in the search of data, that that then will become in the most important tool in Google.

It is so the denomination 'PageRank' owes to the name of Larry Page who in the year 1997 will arrange in in their page personal web, of the University of Stanford, a presentation where he/she explains: 'PageRank: Bringing Order to the Web.'

In January of 1996 they begin to develop a searcher giving him the name of 'BackRub', because the effectiveness of the search motor is to analyze those 'back links' that are links that point to a certain page; Backrub is written in Java and Python and he/she runs on several machines Ultra Sun and Intel Pentium with Linux. The Data base is housed in a computer Ultra Sun II with 28GB of hard disk.

The first ones in using these technologies, the students and professors of Stanford who used the advantages of this searchers were.

In the year 1997 'Backrub' will pass to call himself 'Google', since this name sounds resemblance to the word 'googol' that is the name in English that that one gives to the figure' 10 high at 100.' Until that moment they have 24 million pages indexadas and they have already had problems of capability in their hard disks, having to devise geniuses based in I Bequeath.In these times, they are the beginnings of Google (in the domain google.stanford.edu), being a lot their design but simple of what will be then with the step of the time.

Their designers, Larry and Sergey register in that year the domain 'google.com', giving to know their technology to the 'Office of Technology Licensing' (OTL) of the University of Stanford who will begin to contact different companies of Internet that can be interested in Google starting from that moment.

In the month of January of 1998, Sergey and tired larry of not getting favorable offers, so much economic as technological, they decide to create their own company.

In that way the bedroom of Larry Page, becomes the new offices of Google, where all the computer teams and the bedroom of Larry will be arranged who was beside that of its member and friend, it will be the financial office of the company.

Located in their bedrooms, as headquarters of their company, Google continues indexando pages quickly, draining this way the capability of its hard disks, they will acquire a terabyte and then they are able to buy several hard disks carrying out an investment of $15,000, getting reduced prices.

The problem of the moment, is to get an investor that finances the company Google, in spite of the peak of the ´dot com´ they will have to get money of its families and friends but near. For that then, they had aborted their doctorates in Stanford.

One day in the house of a friend in common, the professor of the University of Stanford David R. Cheriton -, Sergey and Larry know Andy Bechtolsheim (cofundador of Sun Microsystems and vice-president of Cisco Systems) after 30 minutes of conversation Bechtolsheim gives them a check per $100,000 (then it would sign them another of same quantity), to name of 'Google Inc.'. "Basically the boys needed machines and servers to prove their new concept, and to pay to the lawyers that helps them in the legal" topics, it assured Bechtolsheim later. "And I wanted to make sure be part of the company."
But as ´Google Inc.' as such, it doesn't exist, and to be able to charge the check (that is two weeks on the table of Larry), they have to search a local, and to found a new company: 'Google Inc.'.

Thanks to the professor's help Cheriton and to Ram Shriram, a former-directive of Netscape, in September of 1998 Google Inc gets an important economic contribution, and this way the company is able to open its gates in a garage, a friend's of Larry property and Sergey, to which rent it to him, in the field of Menlo Park, California. They also incorporate their first employee, Craig Silverstein (currently, Director of Technology of Google), they install several telephone lines, a modem and a line DSL

For that then indexadas 25 million pages are already, receiving around deiz a thousand queries per day.
The magazine 'PC Magazine' it includes it inside their list 'Top 100 Web Sites' of 1998.

In February of the year 1999 already account with 8 people in its facility of employees, and the queries per day arrives at 500.000 o'clock, per what you/they are under conditions of moving to the new offices in Palo Alto, and they sign its first commercial, with RedHat who begins to give the operating system Linux of the servers of Google.

Their best commercial campaign will be the ´mouth to mouth´.
