Google’s proud to employ local people who help our data centers function at their best.
The Lowcountry, South Carolina
Our three facilities in the Lowcountry of South Carolina (across Berkeley and
Dorchester counties) include one of our first data centers in the United States,
and we’re proud of what we have built and innovated within the community. Since
coming to South Carolina in 2007, we’ve invested locally to support job
creation, business growth, and community initiatives. From creating more than
900 jobs for our neighbors to investing to allow internet service to be provided
to 365 homes occupied by students in the Berkeley County School District at no
charge for one school year, we work with the local leaders and organizations to
build up the communities where our employees live and work, so they can prosper
in the digital future.

We take data security seriously across all our data centers, including at our Lowcountry locations in Moncks Corner, Summerville, and St. George. Here Neal uses special equipment to completely erase all of the data on old servers through a thorough, multi-step process that prevents access to any of our customers' data.
At one of our data centers in the Lowcountry, South Carolina, Neal is trained on security processes to keep data protected 24/7.
