Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Cloud computing has reached a new stage of maturity, with spending on public cloud services alone projected to surpass USD $800 billion by 2025—a staggering 600% increase in just eight years. This explosive growth highlights the cloud’s significant momentum and its remarkable evolution.

Initially used primarily as a repository for corporate data, the cloud has evolved into an innovation powerhouse, offering numerous services like Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). These solutions enable organisations to transition from using physical hardware to utilising scalable, on-demand cloud resources—thereby reducing costs and improving flexibility.

Google Cloud is a notable case study of this evolution. Since its launch in 2008, Google has continually added key features to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), expanding its offerings to provide businesses with innovative, secure, and scalable cloud solutions. Today, GCP offers a comprehensive suite of services that span data storage and analytics, productivity and collaboration tools, and more.

GCP is also one of the major players in the cloud computing market, offering organisations worldwide a trusted cloud partner always at the forefront of modernisation. In particular, GCP boasts these key differentiators:

• Commitment to innovation. GCP has a history of innovation highlighted by the creation of Google Kubernetes Engine enables businesses to deploy, manage, and scale containerised applications with ease, ensuring seamless operations and high availability.
• Openness and interoperability. With tools like Kubernetes, TensorFlow, and Apache Hadoop, organisations using GCP can build flexible, scalable solutions and easily incorporate them into their existing infrastructures, allowing businesses to leverage GCP while using their current technology stack.
• Anthos and hybrid/multi-cloud strategies. Organisations are being strategic with their cloud use depending on their needs, and Anthos enables businesses to manage applications across on-prem environments, GCP, and other clouds. This makes it easier for organisations to choose the setup they want and gives them the flexibility to leverage their existing investments while taking advantage of the cloud’s scalability.
• Access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). With GCP, businesses have easy access to advanced AI and ML capabilities and solutions, like TensorFlow, AutoML, AI Platform, and Vertex AI. Not only are these offerings accessible, but they are also easy to integrate into an organisation’s existing applications.
• Best-in-class security and compliance. Google employs a multi-layered security approach, incorporating physical security measures, data encryption, and advanced threat detection systems to help businesses protect their data and maintain compliance with various regulatory standards.

GCP is also committed to providing the best cloud experience to Malaysians. In fact, in May, Google announced a USD $2 billion investment to develop its first data centre in the country and make it a Google Cloud region. This timely development coincides with Malaysia’s pivot towards data sovereignty mandates in conjunction with its cloud-first strategy.

Between its unique selling points and Google’s commitment to Malaysia, GCP is no doubt the cloud for Malaysian organisations. It is the cloud for you.
