My dream is to work somewhere that has a blazing fast internet connection. Over at Lucasfilm (you may have heard of Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean), every employee goes buck wild on a 1 gigabit per second connection to a 10 gbps internet backbone. There is an article on CNET this week about Lucasfilm’s 12 petabits per second data center. Screw you, Jenna Jameson–the smooth-clicking sound of those numbers rolling off the tip of my tongue are beyond sexually arousing.
Here are some specs at the Lucasfilm data center in the Letterman Digital Arts Center (San Francisco, CA):
- Server room the size of Google’s data center
- 2000+ servers
- 300+ terabytes of storage
Lucasfilm will definitely be on the top of my list of prospective internships. They are offering the following positions on their employment page:
- Web developer
- Security administrator
- Internet production coordinator
- Java engineer
- Flash developer
- Desktop systems specialist
- Service desk specialist
If you are a student in the IT field, I would recommend that you check out the Lucasfilm internship page for the nitty gritty.
