Microsoft has great support for Bing

Microsoft Corp. has big plans for Bing. It's opening two new data centers which will have more than 1 million square feet. One is located in Chicago and the other is in Dublin, Ireland. At these locations, hundreds of thousands of servers will be housed to help support the company's Bing search engine and other online services.

The Chicago center, which opens July 20, will be housing containers that can be the size of tractor-trailers with 1,800 to 2,500 servers each, reports Computerworld.com. The Dublin facility, which opened July 1, does not use containers, according to the report.

If you ever wondered if Bing will be adequately backed up, rest easy. It will be.
