Google and Amazon are new data centres: intense competition for cloud services-data center, Amazon,
Google-IT information
According to foreign media reports, Amazon and Google in an increasingly competitive field of cloud computing services, the two technology giants are in many parts of the world the new data center, tried to start in this race.
It is clear that cloud is now a growing data center. Amazon AWS cloud computing business announced new multiple nearby data center in Paris next year. Until then, Amazon has built data centers in much of Europe, including both in Frankfurt and Dublin City, and soon in the United Kingdom a data center will also be put into use.

Meanwhile, Google said it would in India Mumbai, Singapore, and Australia Sydney, Brazil Sao Paulo, Finland and Germany Frankfurt new data centers, and built in the United States the second data center in Northern Virginia will also be put into use next year. Google is currently to the AWS cloud computing with Microsoft Azure mount a strong challenge.
Just a few days ago, Microsoft announced its own cloud data center expansion project, based in Germany used two data centers in Magdeburg and Frankfurt.
The data center is equipped with tens of thousands of even hundreds of thousands of servers and storage devices, enterprise computing tasks can be implemented after the client lease and stored data. Many companies are using these "public" facility to work with their own data centers to complement or even replace them. Amazon AWS are three cloud computing service providers the largest, oldest, and Microsoft Azure is thought to occupy the second position in this competition.
Google this week adjusted its cloud service brands, changed its name to "Google Cloud". Google cloud services include Google applications At Work and important Google Platform platform.
There are two main factors driving data center expansion. First of all, let real customers in close proximity to data center operations, you can improve performance. Distance between these two points, the longer the delay the greater the impact on operations.
Secondly, including Germany and France, in many countries, wants to implement localization of citizens ' data, and introduced several supporting localized data sovereignty (data sovereignty) laws. Just two years ago, Germany if the company wants to use the AWS cloud computing services, you can use AWS is located in Berlin/Germany the other data centers, but this does not conform to the provisions of those laws.
谷歌与亚马逊均新建数据中心：云服务竞争惨烈 - 数据中心,亚马逊,

据国外媒体报道，亚马逊和谷歌在云计算服务领域的竞争日趋激烈，这两家科技巨头都在全球许多地方新建数据中心，试图在这场竞争中占得先机。
很显然，云数据中心正越来越多。亚马逊旗下云计算业务AWS宣布，明年将在巴黎附近新建多个数据中心。在此之前，亚马逊已在欧洲多地建了数据中心，其中就包括在法兰克福和都柏林这两座城市，不久其在英国的一个数据中心也将投入使用。
▲谷歌建在俄克拉荷马州的数据中心
与此同时，谷歌表示将在印度孟买、新加坡、澳大利亚悉尼、巴西圣保罗、芬兰和德国法兰克福新建数据中心，而建在美国弗吉尼亚州北部的另一个数据中心也将在明年投入使用。谷歌目前正在云计算领域向AWS和微软Azure发起强有力的挑战。
就在几天前，微软也宣布了自己的云数据中心扩建计划，设在德国马格德堡和法兰克福的两个数据中心投入使用。
这些数据中心配备了数万甚至数十万个服务器和存储设备，企业客户租用以后可以实施计算任务并存储数据。许多企业正使用这些“公有云”设施，以便与自家数据中心形成互补，甚至是取代它们。亚马逊AWS是三大云计算服务商中规模最大、成立最早的，而微软Azure则被认为会在这场竞争中占据第二的位置。
谷歌本周对旗下云服务品牌做了调整，更名为“Google Cloud”。谷歌云服务包括Google At Work应用和重要的Google Platform平台。
推动数据中心扩建的因素主要有两个。首先，让数据中心运营距离真正的客户更近，可以提升企业的性能指标。这两个点之间的距离越长，对运营造成的延迟影响越大。
其次，包括德国和法国在内的许多国家，都希望实现公民数据的本地化，并且出台了一些支持本地化的数据主权（data sovereignty）相关法律。就在两年前，德国公司若想使用AWS的云计算服务，只能使用AWS位于都柏林或德国之外的另一个数据中心，但这样一来，又不符合那些法律的规定。
