Google Cloud Platform for future-proof solutions
Competitiveness and readiness for the future are two of the big issues that IT decision-makers are currently having to deal with. The requirements of IT infrastructure are increasing and tried and tested solutions have to be reviewed: can resources that are required at short notice be made available with flexibility? Will the existing platform offer developers sufficient scope to work in an agile way in future without having to worry about the infrastructure required themselves?
With the Google Cloud, companies are already securing all of the tools they require in the age of increasing digitisation. As the newest of the public clouds, the Google Cloud has been tailored perfectly to the challenges currently facing digital companies. The Google Cloud Platform uses the same technology as services used millions of times over throughout the world: Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, etc.

Google Cloud Services
The Google Cloud has all of the important services and applications that allow your company to use its data more efficiently. This includes services in the areas of Compute, big data, identity and security, storage and networking.
This means that even complex infrastructures that many companies still operate in their own computer centres at the moment can be mapped in the Google Cloud. The advantage of the cloud, however, lies in its flexible scalability which allows it to respond at any time to increasing demand.

Other services
Cloud storage
This service provides a virtually unlimited amount of storage space in the Google Cloud for all types of data. Other products are available with cloud storage. These can be used, for example, to create your own database in Big Table or host MySQL databases in the cloud.
Prediction API
With this function, Google offers the option to make certain predictions on the basis of previous experience. These may relate, for example, to customer behaviour on the website or in the shop.
Translation API
The familiar Google translation service can translate websites and applications automatically. Developers can therefore internationalise their applications very easily. It is advisable, however, to have the translation checked by a native-speaker.
BigQuery
BigQuery is a serverless and extremely scalable data warehouse from Google. The tool facilitates productive data analyses without companies having to manage the infrastructure for them. Meaningful information can be accessed at any time via a familiar SQL-based user interface.
