Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were PhD students at Stanford University. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Google has evolved into a global technology powerhouse with a mission to organise the world’ s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Beyond search, Google offers a vast array of products and services, including AI, online advertising, search engine technology, cloud computing, computer software, quantum computing, e-commerce, and consumer electronics.
Google Cloud Platform, offered by Google, is a suite of cloud computing services that runs on the same infrastructure that Google uses internally for its end-user products, such as Google Search, Gmail, Google Drive, and YouTube. Alongside a set of management tools, it provides a series of modular cloud services, including computing, data storage, data analytics and machine learning.
From a network that spans the globe to innovative solutions that transform organisations, Google Cloud has SaaS built into its DNA. Its platform enables users to build, modernise, and scale their business with differentiated technology that extends beyond infrastructure. Google Kubernetes Engine lets users easily deploy products across a global network so anyone anywhere can access them, while the platform’ s developer tools and SaaS services speed up dev and deployment cycles.
In March, Google Cloud announced a range of new products that infuse generative AI into its offerings, empowering developers to responsibly build with enterprise-level safety, security, and privacy.
Google Cloud has also launched a series of generative AI consulting services to help its customers accelerate their journeys. The addition of generative AI services to Google Cloud’ s consulting business will help“ C-suite leaders of top global companies reap the full, transformative benefits of generative AI while maintaining responsible development and deployment”, the company said.
