谷歌本周启用史上最快海底光缆：速度提升1000万倍 - 海底光缆,谷歌 - IT资讯

谷歌的一项新行动又将引发Facebook和微软的羡慕——谷歌将从本周四开始启用史上最快的海底光缆。

尽管Facebook和微软都已经启动了打造海底光缆的项目，以便将他们的服务接入更加快速的互联网之中，但很明显，他们在此方面已经大大落后于谷歌。

事实上，早在两年之前，谷歌就开始与其合作伙伴打造这个海底光缆。2014年，谷歌与五家亚洲电信企业合作，出资3亿美元，打造这个连接美国与日本的海底光缆，此光缆名为“Faster”。

这条光缆的带宽高达60Tbps，东接美国俄勒冈州，西接日本千叶县和三重县，光缆总长度为9000公里。

谷歌海底光缆架构团队的Alan Chin-Lun Cheung通过博客宣布了谷歌将启用海底光缆的消息。Alan Chin-Lun Cheung在博客中写道，“Faster光缆系统将让谷歌连接到在美日之间的60Tbps网络总带宽中的10Tbps带宽。我们将使用这一能力来支持我们的用户，包括谷歌地图和云平台等用户在内。这是史上最快的海底光缆，大约比普通光缆的速度快1000万倍。我们将从周四开始启用这个光缆。”

这根海底光缆从俄勒冈开始，还连接到美国西海岸的诸多中枢，包括洛杉矶、旧金山湾区、波特兰以及西雅图等地。
