Google left Australia off its Asia-Pacific data centre build list, when it laid out plans this week to build three data centres in the region.
The search giant said it would build the new facilities and spend upwards of US$200 million in an effort to boost access speed and capacity for its online service offerings.
Google will build its first proprietary Asia-Pacific data centres in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, but has left Australia out of the loop.
The company expects the data centres to be operational within one to two years from the start of construction. It has already bought land for the centres and begun advertising for Asia-Pacific data centre project managers — via redwolf.newsvine.com
