Would it automatically mean that the data from searches are taken from the nearest data center?

Why no data centre in Australia!?

Hey Guys,

Great post. Any ideas on where the server locations for Google AppEngine services are located? Looking at response times from Australia for appengine applications they seem not to be served from any Asian centres.

Additionally, would be very interested on information about how Google uses services like Akamai for optimizing application performance in places where they don’t have dedicated hosting facilities. From what I have seen applications such as Google maps, definitely make use of Akamai, and the results are pretty noticable.

Cheers,
Damon.

Any plans for a followup on this? Would be interesting to see the development of Googles data centers.
