Google用新的海底电缆在圣诞岛建立一个数据中心,增强互联网的复原力和当地经济。 Google builds a data hub on Christmas Island with new subsea cables, boosting internet resilience and local economy.

Google正在澳大利亚边远领土上的圣诞岛建立一个以连接为重点的数据中心,包括一条连接马尔代夫和阿曼的新的海底电缆,并增设两个中心,以提高互联网的抵御能力。 Google is building a connectivity-focused data hub on Christmas Island, a remote Australian territory, including a new subsea cable linking it to the Maldives and Oman, with two additional hubs to boost internet resilience. 最初对岛上柴油电网的担忧有所缓解，官员确认现有电力能够满足居民和谷歌的需求，尽管如果前拘留中心或度假村重新开放，可能会出现压力。 Initial concerns about the island’s diesel-powered grid were eased, with officials confirming current power can meet both resident and Google’s needs, though strain could occur if the former detention center or resort reopens. 随着采矿业的减少,预计该项目将为岛上1 600名居民提供经济利益,并可能加速对可再生能源的投资,以取代昂贵的柴油进口。 The project is expected to provide economic benefits to the island’s 1,600 residents as mining declines, and may accelerate investment in renewable energy to replace costly diesel imports. 这个比Google主要设施小的数据中心将与当地人分享基础设施, 澳大利亚基础设施部门正在合作确保能源稳定。 The data hub, smaller than Google’s major facilities, will share infrastructure with locals, and Australia’s infrastructure department is collaborating to ensure energy stability. 该岛的战略地点也可能支持军事和监视行动。 The island’s strategic location may also support military and surveillance operations.
