Google stated that it would bring 75-100 permanent jobs.

  Yes I am sure they did to the local politicians ;-) Unless you collocating a call centre for adwords support I cant see how any DC would need 100 people full time - anyone got the org chart for a google DC?

    There's just no way you can run a facility of that size with three people, sorry. In addition to DC techs you need building engineers, HVAC people, electricians, and probably a lot more that I'm not thinking of.

      But post build and commissioning you don't need most of those full time. And given the way google run the dc the workload is a lot less than say an big IBM sysplex. I bet you could run a Google style DC in normal ops with 3 or 4 people per shift plus security guards. That's assuming they even bother with a 356/24h shift You just fly in the specialized teams and new hardware already racked up when you need to.
