Google Cloud’s First Region in India @ Coming Soon



Google Cloud’s First Region in India @ Coming Soon

Highlights

  • Google Cloud confirmed that its first Region in India will come in Mumbai
  • It is still slated to go online before the end of 2017
  • It will encompass three Zones
A cloud Region is basically a central hub for a geography, where data storage and computing takes place. Google's Indian customers have made use of Regions in Taiwan and Singapore (among other regions), which, along with Tokyo and Sydney, make up Google's APAC Regions. The Region is further divided into Zones (Mumbai will encompass three Zones), which are further localised; the advantage of having a Region that's physically near is that it speeds up data transmissions, and this can have a large impact on certain kinds of usage.

There are also rules about data sovereignty that require cloud service providers to keep data from being transmitted out of the country, for certain regulated industries and government services. By building a Region in Mumbai, Google will be able to better serve its customers here, build up an ecosystem, and open up to a greater spectrum of partners, Pande added.
