GCP also known as Google Cloud Platform, provided by Google, is an innovative suite of cloud-based services that run on the very same infrastructure that Google use internally for all its end-users, including Google Search, Gmail, video storage, and YouTube. It enables end users to access data stored in their Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google+ documents across multiple platforms and devices - on-demand or on a recurring or monthly basis. For businesses that require hosted software and application functionality to be available to all its employees, as well as partners and clients, this service is the best solution. With Cloud Platform, Google eliminates the need for buying and maintaining costly software, while simplifying technical management. Through Cloud Platform and the Google Apps service, Google gives businesses a great way to leverage the power and intelligence of Google technology to improve the business they are in.
GCP can be divided into two main categories, including the public Cloud Platform and the private iSCSI/SGI VCPU. The former runs applications and files on a Google server, whereas the latter delivers these files and applications to a targeted SaaS (Software as a Service) client or to an internal user on-demand. When the user requests the service, it first discovers all required software and gets the iSCSI/SGI VCPU running. The iSCSI VCPU performs virtualization, initiates I/O block transfers, and delivers the requested data to the client or to the internal user.
The primary advantage of GCP is that it helps businesses gain access to a fully-outsourced data storage and application platform with real-time processing and real-time application execution. Through Cloud Platform, users enjoy easy integration and mobility, along with the benefits of multi-tenancy, security and scalability. Through this software solution, businesses also enjoy reduced IT costs, greater deployment flexibility, easy accessibility to a wide range of devices and great ease of provisioning new infrastructure. Google's on-demand managed hosting plans also provide businesses with a hassle-free way to get the necessary resources and applications when they need them most. Google's global cloud community also makes it easy for businesses to obtain expert assistance and guidance.
