Google Cloud has expanded its global network with new cloud regions in Chile, Germany and Saudi Arabia. When launched in the coming months and years, each region will have three zones to protect against service disruptions, and include a portfolio of key Google Cloud products. The new countries will join Google Cloud's existing network of 24 regions.
In Chile, companies like Red Salud migrated their infrastructure to the cloud to increase the resilience and flexibility of their services as demand continues to evolve and grow.
In Germany, the second cloud region will complement its existing region in Frankfurt, expanding its ability to meet growing demand for cloud services in the country. With this additional region, customers like Deutsche Borse and German wholesaler Metro can continue to scale their businesses atop its cloud infrastructure.
Building on a MoU signed in 2018 with Aramco to jointly explore establishing cloud services in the Saudi Arabia region, the company concluded an agreement in December so that Google Cloud will now deploy and operate a Cloud region in Saudi Arabia. A local strategic reseller, sponsored by Aramco, will offer cloud services to customers, with a particular focus on businesses in the Kingdom.
