$GOOG employees: any eta on the California region?
- alpb 9y agoWhy do you need a California region? There’s already a west coast datacenter in Oregon. I’m guessing the latency differences would be likely negligible. That said there's plans for a Los Angeles region here: https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/ https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/ (Disclaimer: I am a Google employee, but totally not working on datacenter stuff.)
- CydeWeys 9y agoThe Pacific northwest has all of that delicious, cheap, reliable, non-polluting hydroelectric power. It's really a logical location for regional data centers, and Google is far from the only company making that same decision. I agree with you, I'm not seeing the big draw of California, especially given the much more expensive electricity plus greater earthquake risk.

- pyvpx 9y agohaving spent considerable time in the Los Angeles datacenter market I am insanely curious where they're putting these 3 zones. I am guessing El Segundo/Hawthorne area, Wilshire Annex in downtown LA, and something in the Orange County area.
