Hi,

No there is no mainframe involved in this. They make use of "BigTable", a different concept. And it's not related to Big-Data.

As enrico has indicated, google is your friend. You've to do a bit of analysis to understand it better or to the level where it satisfies you.

To get you started you can look for these:

Hope this helps.
