Main Benefits for Migrating to Google Cloud Platform
Scale
The GCP platform offers a global scale for compute, storage and networking. Its biggest case study is Google itself with over 1.5 billion Gmail users, 9 hours of video content uploaded per minute to YouTube and over 60 Billion hits per year on the Google search website.
Security
GCP has a 'security first approach', because of its scale, Google can deliver a higher level of security at these layers than most customers could afford to on their own. All data within GCP is by default encrypted both at rest and in transit.
Operational Optimisation
Move from a CapEx to an OpEx model and reduce compute, storage, networking, application licensing and maintenance costs by taking advantage of the many serverless "As a Service" options available within GCP. Spend more time on exploiting your data and less time looking after it.
Integrated ML and AI
GCP provides integrated models and services to support your move to Machine Learning initiatives. This reduces time to implement (add 1 line of code to a BigQuery query for instance) time to maintain with fewer software components and reduced licensing costs.
Market Leading Analytics
GCP is the leader in structured and unstructured data management offering truly global level performance and scale across its suite of Data Platform management services.
BigQuery is the standout service for online data warehouses and the go-to service for many of the world's biggest enterprises.
Open Source Champions
Google is both an active supporter of Open Source technologies and a contributor to the community. Google initially invented many of the Open Source projects around today, for instance, Map Reduce or Kubernetes. GCP allows these projects to be run directly on GCP to ensure that you are not locked in with a proprietary version that will only run on one cloud.
