The secret is out: Being in the cloud is key to thriving in the digital age. Those in the cloud will have innovation at their fingertips, derive the most value from their data, improve collaboration and productivity, enable business continuity and reduce costs massively.
Suffice to say, the time to migrate to the cloud is NOW.
While today’s organisations are almost spoilt for choice when it comes to cloud services and resources, there’s a reason why Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has become one of the most popular and trusted hyperscalers in the world.
Among the benefits your organisation stands to gain by choosing GCP include:
- Leading global-scale infrastructure. Google Cloud is literally one of the biggest cloud providers, having servers and data centres in over 200 countries, zones and regions around the world in order to deliver the highest level of performance and availability.
- Outstanding uptime and reliability. GCP is committed to achieving uptime of above 99.99% as reflected in its Compute Engine Service Level Agreement (SLA), with countless failover scenarios to mitigate system and server outages.
- Commitment to security. Google’s state-of-the-art security is developed over 15 years of continuous improvement, with the company employing industry-leading security and privacy experts dedicated to enhancing the platform’s security.
- Continuous expansion and improvements. Google is not only committed to growing and improving its global network but also to giving customers quick access to the latest innovations with efficient and continuous ongoing updates. GCP currently offers over 100 products and services, from cloud storage, database and compute to Artificial Intelligence, API management, data analytics and numerous developer tools.
- Embrace the Work From Anywhere (WFA) future. Anywhere-access to Google Cloud’s web-based apps (and a myriad of powerful Google Workspace features and tools) that enable the organisation’s staff to work and collaborate anywhere, everywhere—and practically at any time.
- Unmatched cost-effectiveness and flexibility. Enjoy reduced spending thanks to Google’s economies of scale, which lowers overheads and consolidates a small number of server configurations, takes full ownership, control and flexibility over all data and workloads stored in GCP, which means the organisation can opt out of services and pull out data or workloads at any time.
On top of all that, another key differentiator that separates GCP from the rest of the field is Google Tau VM, a GCP-only offering that provides an organisation with Virtual Machines (VM) powered by the AMD EPYC 7003 “Milan” processors. These turbocharged VM, in turn, power unparalleled performance that is over 40% better than other major clouds. In addition, GCP also offers Google Distributed Cloud Edge—another differentiator—to give organisations a new edge solution specifically engineered to run telecommunication networks at scale.
The takeaway in all this is: Yes, your organisation needs to be leveraging the cloud now but your choice of cloud matters just the same. And given the many benefits of the Google Cloud Platform, along with its unique, Google-only offerings, it is clear that Google Cloud is as good a choice as any of the hyperscalers out there. It might even be the best for your organisation.
