announced Friday it will open a new cloud hub in Poland as the tech giant seizes on growing sales across Europe.
The announcement underscores Google Cloud's ambitions to expand its cloud infrastructure across the European region. In an interview with CNBC Thursday, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said Europe is a "big area of focus" for the business. "We're actually growing faster in terms of people, customers, revenue here than in any other part of the world," Kurian said.
Google Cloud currently operates 20 cloud regions around the world, including six in Europe. The company said Friday its new location in Warsaw, Poland will help customers in central and eastern Europe benefit from its cloud services. Cloud regions include infrastructure like data centers. Cloud computing allows businesses and consumers to store and access data, apps and software over the internet, instead of locally on a hard drive or server.
