Google spends € 2 billion on new European data center

Google plans to invest up to €2 billion in a new data center in Poland, according to the country's business daily Pulz Biznesu. The company is not the only tech giant preparing to launch a new data center in Poland, as Microsoft announced in May that it will invest €1 billion to build a new data center in the country. The Polish newspaper quoted Magdalena Dziewguc, Google Cloud Territory Manager for the Heart of Europe, in its report, who provided more details about the project, saying: “Google Cloud region in Warsaw is the largest investment in infrastructure of this type in Poland. We are preparing to make it operational in early 2021."

Jakarta Region

In addition to expanding its operations in Europe, Google Cloud has also announced the opening of its first cloud region in Indonesia, which will offer three cloud zones. The company's ninth cloud region in the Asia Pacific region is located in Jakarta, but also includes Singapore and South Korea. The launch of Google's new Jakarta region will reduce data access and application latency, helping Indonesian organizations accelerate their digital transformation. At the same time, customers will be able to meet specific regulatory and compliance requirements. The new region will launch with the standard set of Google services, including Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Cloud Spanner, Cloud Bigtable, and BigQuery. via Reuters
