Google’s second fully privately owned subsea cable is now open for business. The announcement comes shortly after the company recorded record quarterly revenues, with soaring cloud sales playing a major role.
In 2018, the internet giant revealed plans for its Dunant cable. It’s one of more than a dozen projects Google has backed over the past decade as it doubles down on infrastructure investments to power its cloud computing services, such as storage, analytics, machine learning, video-streaming, email, and various enterprise offerings.
Dunant spans 6,400km (3,977 miles) from Virginia Beach in the U.S. to Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez, France and comes almost two years after Google launched its first self-funded subsea cable. Curie went into operation in April 2019 and stretches 10,000km from Los Angeles down the Pacific coast to Chile.
