In today’s increasingly high-tech world, cloud adoption has become a given for businesses of all sizes looking to stay competitive and deliver an experience that keeps customers coming back. The RightScale 2019 State of the Cloud Report from Flexera found that almost all (94 percent) of the tech professionals surveyed use the cloud.
Many companies now employ a multi-cloud strategy, using about five clouds on average, according to RightScale’s report. Although making the move from on-premise infrastructure to the cloud comes with its potential drawbacks and challenges (e.g., cost management and security), there are plenty of advantages as well – including increased flexibility, scalability, and accessibility from various devices and locations, among others. Visit our Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloud Computing page for more info on the pros and cons.
The cloud will likely become even more popular as digital transformation – the adoption of new technologies to enhance processes and improve the customer experience (CX) – becomes increasingly important in the business world. If your organization is in the market for new cloud services and solutions to help you achieve your objectives, you might want to consider the Google Cloud Platform.
Advantages of Google Cloud
We’re all already familiar with Google, a tech industry giant and leading provider in the cloud solution space (along with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure). With the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you gain access to the supplier’s cutting-edge technology and resources. Here are just some of the features and advantages that lead businesses to choose GCP.
Exceptional security features: Cybercrime remains a serious problem for organizations of all sizes and across all industries. GCP protects your data with the latest technology – the same measures that safeguard Google’s private worldwide network.
Insights from Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning: Google’s solutions come with built-in AI and machine learning tools that you can use to reach a new level of insight into how your organization operates and pinpoint ways you can improve, contain costs and become more efficient.
World-class, highly secure infrastructure: Google Cloud is supported by the same network that the provider relies on to deliver Gmail storage, search results and more. With more than 100 points of presence in 21 regions around the world, this network is highly responsive and has low latency. It’s also protected against IT security threats by over 700 experts, so you can rest assured your data is in capable hands.
Redundancy: Google backs up your data across multiple storage devices globally.
These are only a few of the reasons why clients decide to leverage GCP. If you’re interested in learning more, our trusted technology advisors and cloud consultants can provide you with additional information about this offering.
