It's a win for Chile, which has campaigned to attract high-tech businesses in recent years.
Google says it picked the site in suburban Quilicura because of the skilled workforce and infrastructure and business-friendly regulatory environment.
Once built, the data centre will employ just 20 people - a few skilled computer technicians as well as security personnel, to make sure nothing stops the computers from humming along. - Sapa-AP
