At the “Sustainable Data Centers with Google” event, Google announced the completion of its latest data center and cloud region campus expansion in Singapore. This milestone brings the company’s total investments in technical infrastructure in the country to US$5 billion, up from US$850 million in 2018.
Google data centers are the technical infrastructure that powers Google’s popular digital services, such as Search, Maps, and Workspace, which billions of people and organizations worldwide, including those in Singapore, use daily.
Google data centers also play an essential role in enabling Google to deliver Al’s benefits to users and businesses nationwide.
The Singapore cloud region delivers high-performance and low-latency services to large enterprises, startups, and public sector organizations.
The design principles and approaches to sustainability enable Google to ensure that the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of its Singapore data centers matches improvements across Google’s global fleet despite the hotter climate in Singapore. Google publishes the PUE of its data centers at the campus level every quarter.
“Data centers serve as the growth engines for digital progress by providing the foundation for digital transformation and innovation. Expanding our data center campus in Singapore reaffirms our commitment to helping Southeast Asian organizations capitalize on digital opportunities while ensuring sustainable growth. Google is deeply committed to managing our environmental footprint, playing a key role in supporting a just climate transition, and helping to accelerate the global transition to a net-zero future,” said Kate Brandt, Chief Sustainability Officer of Google.
