Google Cloud Announces Plans to make New Zealand Region Operational

In JAPAC, Google Cloud already has 11 cloud regions operational and the New Zealand cloud region will be Google Cloud’s third region in Australasia, joining Sydney and Melbourne.

Cloud plays a vital role in helping the customers harness the full potential of digital transformation. Hence, Google cloud is going to build their infrastructure investments by bringing their very first cloud region to New Zealand.

Accordingly, their Kiwi clients will receive access to high-performance, low-latency services and solutions, as well as three zones to help prevent service interruptions. Importantly, it will provide their clients the option to maintain data sovereignty and keep their data onshore if they so choose.

 

Moreover, a Dedicated Cloud Interconnect in Auckland was launched by Google Cloud New Zealand last year to support local customers through delivering geographically diversified and secure infrastructure across the country; this will be essential, particularly for individuals working in regulated fields like the public sector and the financial services.

In order to deliver more potent customer experiences, swiftly and securely, Google Cloud New Zealand is now looking forward to forging deeper relationships with its clients and delivering on its special capacity to knit together enterprise and consumer ecosystems across Search, YouTube, and Cloud.

Digital Push

Companies in the NZ region are increasingly digitizing their business processes and seemed upbeat about Google Cloud’s foray.
“Kami was born out of the digital native era, where in order to scale globally we needed a partner like Google Cloud who could support us on our ongoing innovation journey. We have since delivered an engaging and dependable experience for millions of teachers and students around the world, so it’s incredibly exciting to hear about the new region coming to New Zealand. This investment from Google Cloud will enable us to deliver services with lower latency to our Kiwi users, which will further elevate and optimise our free premium offering to all New Zealand schools,” said Jordan Thoms, Chief Technology Officer at Kami. 
“Our collaboration with Google Cloud has been pivotal in ensuring the stability and resilience of our infrastructure, allowing us to deliver world-class experiences to the 650,000 Kiwis that visit our site everyday. We welcome Google Cloud’s investment in New Zealand, and are looking forward to more opportunities to partner closely on our technology transformation journey,” said   Anders Skoe, CEO at Trade Me. 
“Digital transformation plays a key role in helping Vodafone deliver better customer experiences and connect all Kiwis. We welcome Google Cloud’s investment in New Zealand and look forward to working together to offer more enriched experiences for local businesses, and the communities we serve,” said Jason Paris, CEO at Vodafone New Zealand 

Marking the 15 years on the ground in New Zealand, Google Cloud will be continuing to increase their commitment to help businesses, communities and educators prepare for a digital future, it said.
