In September 2011, we announced that we had acquired 2.45 hectares of land in Jurong West, with plans to build a data center. We’re now busy building, and we plan to complete construction in early 2013.
Building this first data center in Southeast Asia is an exciting step for us. More new Internet users are coming online every day here in Asia than anywhere else in the world. They are looking for information and entertainment, new business opportunities and better ways to connect with friends and family, near and far. We’re building this data center to make sure that our users here have the fastest and most reliable access possible to all of Google’s services, so they can do just that.
We are also really excited about the facility itself, as it will be one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly in Asia, built to the same high standard we use around the world, with each element custom designed to operate at optimal efficiency.
