Bangalore: Google introduced its first two Asian datacenters in Taiwan and Singapore, in order to deliver its quality services to the world's fastest growing consumer technology markets, but the company is in no hurry to open datacenter in India and China. With serious regulatory in flux in India and the cyberspace censorship in China, Google preferred to knock on the next door. This clearly illustrates the daunting problems, which the tech companies face as they try to meet the data demand in the world’s two most populous countries.

According to Analysys Mason, a research consultancy, mobile data traffic in emerging Asia-Pacific countries will likely rise 68 percent in 2014. This is one of the key reasons why tech companies are seeking to keep datacenters as close to the customers as possible as distance hurts the data speed.

"While we've been busy building, the growth in Asia's internet has been amazing. The number of internet users in India doubled, from 100 million to 200 million. It took six years to achieve that milestone in the U.S.," Google's vice president of datacentres, Joe Kava, said in a statement.

Kava said the cost of building the centers was one consideration for locating in Taiwan, but things like data privacy policies, a highly trained workforce and network infrastructure were also equally important. "It's no secret that the Taiwanese ecosystem for technology companies is outstanding," he told reporters. "Being close to the technology companies will give us opportunity to further some of our partnerships in Taiwan”.
