UNDERSTANDING GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM
GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM SUPERIOR CAPABILITIES
At the center of this digital revolution is cloud computing, which not only enables organizations to survive the post-pandemic marketplace but thrive in it, with new ways to support distributed workforces, stay connected with customers and facilitate innovation. Organizations that don’t seize on the opportunities offered by the cloud will lose out to competitors who have the insight to anticipate shifting customer expectations and the agility to adjust to rapidly changing market conditions.
The GCP products and solutions can help companies modernize their infrastructure, develop new applications to transform customer experiences, manage data at scale to build new capabilities, and generate insights from data with smart analytics.
What are some of the benefits of GCP?
Pay—as—you—go—model: Users only pay for the resources of the user per second, hour, or month. This differs from the flat rates of traditional hosting.
Enjoy unmatched reliability and performance: Reliability is also a big factor for business continuity because businesses can’t afford downtime. Google cloud ensures a reliable cloud infrastructure by building safety nets to their applications and network infrastructure assuming that any element is fallible by enforcing redundancy and robust failover capabilities.
Save big with pricing innovations: ‐ The pay-as-you-go lets you achieve ongoing savings without long-term commitments or upfront payments. GCP also offers sustained use discounts, which enable users to save up to 30% without a contract. It also balances performance and costs with custom-sized machines. Choose any configuration of CPU and memory to save 50% or more compared to fixed machine types from other cloud providers. Rightsizing recommendations deliver additional savings via ongoing resource optimization.
Unlimited Scale: With no onsite servers to worry about, you are freed from the limits of server capacity. You can scale up via Google’s global computing power as quickly as you need to. Your applications automatically scale up to handle heavy loads and scale down when traffic is lower.
Redundancy: Your data is mirrored across storage devices worldwide, meaning that it is protected, no matter what happens
Integration: Build the way you want. Google integrates with familiar development tools to make it easy to build within GCP
Access Transparency and Access Approval: Google Cloud believes that trust is created through transparency. ‐ GCP is the only major cloud provider to offer users total access visibility through Access Transparency, which provides near real-time service logs whenever GCP administrators access user content. Monitoring and Logging: Google cloud hosting has the operations suite, which allows you to monitor the performance of your platform and applications by creating uptime checks and alerting policies. This allows you to rapidly respond to any issues inside your control and minimize downtime
Best-in-class security and compliance tools: GCP continues to enhance security baseline as the attack surface broadens and the cyber threat environment grows more complex. Built-in security features offer default protection for the distributed and growing base of users, systems, and applications accessing your data. You can run workloads with confidence on Google’s secure global infrastructure and further security stance with granular access controls and intelligent threat-detection capabilities.
GCP enables organizations to maximize the return on their data analytics efforts and achieve faster time to insight with high-performing, scalable, and fully managed AI/ML and smart analytics solutions. Your teams can focus on deriving actionable business insights while Google manages and fine-tunes the infrastructure.
Constant innovation: Google is constantly innovating in cloud-based computing and GCP users benefit from its commitment to nonstop improvement in reliability, security, performance, and creative solutions.
SERVERLESS ERA
As we move further up the stack and away from managing underlying components, we can now focus on what it is that makes our applications run: code. No longer do we need to focus on the hardware needed for a server, the OS, the network, or how many or where our end users are.
By leveraging serverless computing in App Engine, GCP once again handles all of the backend management for you. With serverless computing, an application can boast enterprise-grade performance with little to no barriers when confronted with cost.
