Google Cloud Platform Goes Live in Mumbai, Its First in India

Another benefit is that Google Cloud Platform can now be used for any data that has been regulated by the government to stay within India. It is also possible to use GCP from any place in the country, without being limited to Mumbai. "We are delighted to announce the first GCP region in India. The new region will help customers build applications and store their data, and significantly improve latency for customers and end users in the area," said Dave Stiver, Product Manager, Google Cloud Platform. The India region offers several services, including compute, big data, storage and networking. The launch of the Cloud region, which will have three zones, also opens up newer opportunities for several new partners who will benefit from building their services on Google Cloud.
