Google has finalized its latest data center and cloud region campus expansion in Singapore, marking a total investment of USD $5 billion in the nation’s technical infrastructure. This development aims to bolster Google’s popular digital services like Search, Maps, and Workspace, and represents a significant stride in delivering the benefits of AI to users across Singapore.
The expansion, unveiled at the Sustainable Data Centres with Google event, attended by Senior Minister of State for Communications and Information, Dr. Janil Puthucheary, signifies a substantial boost to Singapore’s position as a data center hub for the region.
With over 500 individuals now employed within Google’s data centers in Singapore, the nation solidifies its status among the 11 countries where Google operates data centers serving users globally.
The new Google Cloud region promises high-performance and low-latency services to enterprises, startups, and public sector organizations, with stringent security measures, data residency, and compliance standards.
This expansion aligns with Google’s strategic initiatives in collaboration with the Singapore Government, supporting Singapore’s ambition to be a pivotal data center hub and enabling AI-driven economic growth.
In addition, Google’s commitment to sustainability is evident in the construction of its advanced data center facilities in Singapore. Operating with cutting-edge sustainable features, including sophisticated cooling systems that reuse recycled water, Google’s data centers promote efficiency while maintaining a comfortable working environment.
