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 digitalisation. 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 as Managed Service
Managed Google Cloud Platform offers future-proof solutions for digital enterprises.
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 data 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.
What is it?
Virtual machines within the global data centre network of Google.
Who needs it?
- You want complete control of your infrastructure and direct access to powerful hardware such as GPUs and local SSDs
- You want the option to make changes at the operating system level (e.g. provision of your own network or graphics drivers) to achieve the best performance
- You want to move your applications from your own data centre to the cloud without recoding them
- You have to run a software package that cannot be containerised easily or you want to use existing VM images
What features does it offer?
- Virtual machines with networked and extremely powerful local storage options
- Virtual machines that can be combined in advance for cost-effective batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads
- Adaptable load distribution and automatic scaling via standard VMs
- Direct access to GPUs with which you can speed up certain workloads
- Support for standard variants of Linux and Windows operating systems
Typical applications:
- Any workload that requires a specific operating system or a specific operating system configuration
- Software that is currently used locally and that you would like to run in the cloud
What is it?
Logical infrastructure on the basis of Kubernetes, the open-source container orchestration system.
Who needs it?
- You want to increase speed and operability by separating the app from the operating system
- You need a secure, scalable way of managing containers in production
- You do not depend on any specific operating system
What features does it offer?
- Logical infrastructure - concentrate on your application components, not on virtual machines
- Simple mechanisms for designing loosely coupled, distributed systems
- Run the same application on your laptop, on site and in the cloud
Typical applications:
Containerised workloads, Cloud-native distributed systems and Hybrid applications
What is it?
A flexible zero-ops platform for designing applications with high availability.
Who needs it?
- You want to concentrate on writing code and avoid getting involved with servers, clusters or infrastructure
- You want to develop an extremely reliable and scalable application or components, without doing everything yourself
- You attach more importance to developer speed than to infrastructure control
- You want to minimise operating costs
What features does it offer?
- A series of curated serving stacks with intelligent standard settings and high adaptability
- Support for Java, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby, Node.js and ASP.NET Core (beta) or for your own app runtime
- Integrated SDK, managed services and local development environment
- App versioning with upgrades without downtimes
- Traffic splitting
- Automatic high availability with integrated automatic scaling
Typical applications:
Websites, Mobile apps and gaming backends, RESTful APIs, Internal Line of Business (LOB) apps and Internet of Things (IoT) apps
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.
Cloud Orchestration Excellence Study
Multi-cloud strategies are growing in importance. The analysts of Crisp Research have looked at the factors you should consider when it comes to choosing the right strategy.
Our customers - successful with plusserver
Let us advise you personally
Especially for IoT, Big Data or Machine Learning, the Google Cloud offers many ready-to-use solutions. But it is also suitable as a reliable platform for global e-commerce or modern websites. Florian Weigmann, Chief Product Officer
Managed Kubernetes on the Google Cloud Platform
Those who want to make use of the full potential of the Cloud rely on container technology and orchestration with the help of Kubernetes. With our pluscontainer product, we have also developed a solution for you in the Google Cloud: use an infrastructure managed by plusserver that is optimised for container use, and all the necessary tools based on our best practices. Managed Kubernetes on GCP based on the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). It gives you optimised, Cloud-native development with a high level of automation and stability.
Cloud locations and network coverage
The Google Cloud Platform has a total of 17 regions, 52 zones, over 100 points of presence in 35 countries and a well-equipped worldwide network with thousands of kilometres of glass-fibre cables.
