Wanna run your IT Infrastructure/applications at google scale optimized for performance or price?
Google’s Global Network - One of the strongest Features.
- Google's backbone network uses advanced software-defined networking and edge caching services to deliver fast, consistent, and scalable performance.
- GCP is the first major public cloud to offer a tiered cloud network offering premium(high performance workloads) and standard(cost-sensitive workloads) tiers.
- More than 100 PoPs (Points of Presence) world-wide means data egresses as close to end-user ISP. Google's network carries as much as 40 percent of the world's Internet traffic every day.
- Software Defined Network(SDN) Strategy:
- Google built Jupiter, a datacenter interconnect capable of supporting more than 100,000 servers and 1 Pb/s of total bandwidth to host google services.
- And then constructed B4 to connect Google’s data centers to one another with bandwidth and latency that allowed google engineers to access and replicate data in real-time between individual campuses.
- And then deployed Andromeda, a Network Function Virtualization(NFV) stack that delivers the same capabilities available to Google-native applications all the way to containers and virtual machines running on GCP.
- Espresso is the fourth for an efficient peering edge, where Google connects to other networks across the planet.
Google-grade Security
- Trust & Security - Google Cloud's security model, world-scale infrastructure, and unique capability to innovate will help keep your organization secure and compliant.
- Data Encryption in Transit
- protects your data if communications are intercepted while data moves between your site and the cloud provider(outside physical boundaries of google) by encrypting the data before transmission; authenticating the endpoints; and decrypting and verifying(Integrity) the data on arrival. For example, Transport Layer Security (TLS) is often used to encrypt data in transit for transport security, and Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) is used often for email message security.
- Google Front End Encryption leverages components like TLS, BoringSSL (a Google-maintained, open-source implementation of the TLS protocol, forked from OpenSSL), Google’s certificate Authority(GlobalSign R2 CA) when a user sends a request to google cloud services.
- protects your data when it is being used by servers to run computations, e.g. homomorphic encryption.
- Data Encryption at REST – Super low level cryptographic isolation of data.
- protects your data from a system compromise or data exfiltration by encrypting data while stored. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is often used to encrypt data at rest.
- Google uses several layers of encryption to protect customer data. Data for storage is split into chunks, and each chunk is encrypted with a unique data encryption key.
GCP Offerings
- Google Cloud Platform lets you choose from computing, storage, big data, machine learning and application services for your web, mobile, analytics and back-end solutions.
