Global Locations - Regions & Zones | Google Cloud (original) (raw)
Google Cloud continues to add new regions to our global footprint every year. Our private, software-defined network provides fast and reliable connections to users around the world. This continually-growing network connects our infrastructure globally to more than 3.2 million kilometers of terrestrial and subsea fiber - 10 times the reach of the next leading cloud provider.
