Google admirers in India can expect a
significant leap in terms of speed and performance of products from
Google this year. Reportedly, the software giant is eyeing to launch its
Asia data centers soon in early 2013, which will speed up various
services rendered by the search engine in India.
The
country head, India Products at Google remarked that these data centers
will be critical to the Indian market as the speed of Internet
connectivity is not so high in India. Numerous web social services
inlcuding You Tube, Google Hangouts and more will get comparatively
higher bandwidths. The new data centers would make these services much
hassle free and faster.
The
announcement for building data centers was let known to the world in
September 2011 itself. Google has also invested about $100 million for
each facility. The most interesting fact is that it is launching the
company-built data centers in Asia-Pacific region for the first time.
Google
made a statement regarding this matter that the number of people coming
online everyday are increasing in Asia than any other region in the
world and the company is looking forward to making investments in this
region to optimize this scenario.
The
‘Economic Times' has reported that the data center in Singapore will
become operational in early 2013. Taiwan is the next country to be
scheduled up for the data centre according to this report.
The
facility will start functioning in this country by the second half of
current year. India is not among the list of possible data centre
locations made by Google.
The heat
and humidity level is the reason preventing India from finding a place
in the list. Google's data centers need extensive cooling and they rely
on outside air for cooling servers. Hence, India would not be ideal for
building such a data centre any time soon.
