The first data center in Japan will be opened by the year 2023, according to the company. This data center will be located in Inzai City, Chiba, and is part of the $730 million infrastructure fund. The company has data centers in Taiwan and Singapore.
According to the company, the new data center will help people with faster, more reliable access to our tools and services, support economic activity and jobs, and connect Japan to the rest of the global digital economy. There are cloud regions in Tokyo and Osaka that can be used by local businesses. The company is building its own data center to cater to all of its own services, even though it is partnering with Equinix to power the regions.
The company will invest $730 million in local infrastructure over the next four years, according to a post by the company's CEO.
The Topaz project was announced earlier this year. The company's infrastructure investments in the country could lead to an additional $303 billion in GDP.
After announcing its first cloud region in Africa, this announcement came days later. In addition, the company said it is building Cloud Interconnect sites in Lagos, Nigeria, and Capetown, South Africa, to connect the on-premise networks to the internet. There are new cloud regions in Malaysia, Thailand, and New Zealand.
The cloud division registered a revenue of $6.3 billion in the second quarter of 2022. Losses increased to $858 billion with a 45% increase.
