“ At work , I am inspired by the Google leaders , my peers and of course my team who have shown customer centricity , perseverance and teamwork despite the tough challenges of the last 2 years . Compassionate and competent leaders – my first mentor ( John Gafferena ) and my father ( Alak Sundararaman ) – have always inspired me to challenge the status quo , invite diverse perspectives and focus on the customer .”
Making the Google supply chain resilient Google is a planet-scale network , but there are some figures that can provide a more easily digestible view of the organisation :
• Google ’ s global network consists of a system of high-capacity fibre optic cables that encircle the globe , under both land and sea , connecting data centres to each other and to users
• Globally , Google operates data centres in 23 locations , 34 cloud regions and 103 zones
• The company has 147 points of presence and has announced 20 subsea cable investments around the globe
• Google also has thousands of edge locations around the world in over 200 countries and territories , offering users and customers very low latency services such as Google Assistant and rich content such as YouTube and Google Photos
