Google announces plans to open a new cloud region in Warsaw, Poland to better serve customers in Central and Eastern Europe. This expansion is part of a broader $3.3 billion investment that Google dedicates to its European data center presence over the next two years. The Warsaw region will feature three availability zones and offer standard core services like Compute Engine and BigQuery.
To establish this new region, Google partners with Domestic Cloud Provider (DCP), a joint venture between the Polish Development Fund and PKO Bank Polski. DCP acts as a Google Cloud reseller in Poland and builds managed services on top of Google's infrastructure. This collaboration aims to make cloud technology more accessible to local businesses.
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian highlights that Poland is experiencing rapid growth and accelerating its digital transformation. He notes that the country is becoming an international software engineering hub. The new region and strategic partnership align with Google's commitment to boosting Poland's digital economy by helping local companies build highly available applications.
