Google Cloud
Cloud, Data & AI Platform
Google Cloud Platform is Google’s cloud infrastructure for business. It is strongest in data and analytics (BigQuery), AI (Vertex AI, Gemini) and cybersecurity (Mandiant and Chronicle SIEM).
What Google Cloud includes.
Google Cloud Platform covers compute, storage, databases, analytics, AI/ML and cybersecurity.
Key capabilities.
Premium Network
Google runs its own global network with direct links between regions. This keeps latency low and connections stable.
Pricing per second
Per-second billing for compute and automatic sustained-use discounts. Committed-use discounts for predictable workloads.
BigQuery analytics
A serverless data warehouse that separates storage and compute. Run SQL queries over terabytes of data in seconds, with no clusters to manage.
Gemini for business
Access to multimodal Gemini models through Vertex AI. Integration into products, content generation, RAG pipelines.
Zero Trust BeyondCorp
BeyondCorp Enterprise: a Zero Trust model for accessing corporate applications without a VPN.
Mandiant IR
Incident investigation services from Mandiant, the global leader in responding to APT attacks.
Confidential Computing
Encryption of data in use with AMD SEV and Intel TDX. Protection against insiders and host compromise.
Anthos
A hybrid and multi-cloud Kubernetes platform. Manage clusters in GCP, AWS, Azure and on-prem from one console.
Where Google Cloud is strong.
Data lakes and analytics
BigQuery + Cloud Storage for large-scale data warehouses. Dataform, Dataflow and Looker for BI and data engineering.
AI and generative applications
Vertex AI and Gemini: building RAG chatbots, generating text and images, multimodal assistants.
A SOC built on Chronicle
Chronicle SIEM/SOAR can keep telemetry for years. Add a Mandiant subscription for threat context.
Cloud-native development
