    TECH giant Google on Thursday launched a new cloud computing platform in Singapore that aims to reduce data transmission delays for its cloud customers here, as it seeks to gain ground against rivals Amazon and Microsoft globally.

    It has opened dedicated cloud platform servers - called a "Google Cloud Platform (GCP) region" - in Singapore and this is the group's first GCP region in South-east Asia, executives from the group said at a media briefing at its Asia-Pacific office at Mapletree Business City II in Pasir Panjang.
