Company profile
The company, which is taken into consideration in the forum post, is the Google. The
concept of the organization which is the focus point would be the cloud computing and
application applicable in the Google organization. Google has solidified its position in the
market place as one of the top three public cloud providers alongside the Microsoft Azure
and Amazon web service (Ab Rahman et al. 2018). The position of the Google in the field
being high despite of which its cloud offering, attracting the enterprise client has been proven
to be difficult for the organization. The Google platform of cloud offers different types of
service relating to storage, computing, big data, networking, internet of things (IoT) and
machine learning. The main advantage which can be achieved from the concept of the cloud
computing is the processing, storing and manipulation of the data which is being stored in the
concept of the cloud. There are also security aspects, which are involved into the concept so
that the data is kept, secured from intruders.
Product and services offered
The cloud core concept products, which are available through the platform of Google
cloud platform, include:
 Google App engine: It can be referred as to platform as a service which gives the software
developers the access to the scalable hosting of Google. Developers can directly make use
of the software developer kit (SDK) to implement and develop software’s that run on the
engine of the App.
 Google compute engine: it can be referred to as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) which
directly offers user with a virtual machine instance for the concept of hosting the
workload.

 Google container engine: Is an orchestration and management system for the container of
the Docker that directly runs within the Google’s public cloud. The engine, which is
related to the Google container, is directly based on kubernetes container engine of
orchestration (Li et al. 2015).
The Google cloud platform offers different types of integration and application
development features. For example, Google cloud Pub/Sub, which is a messaging service,
which is managed in real time, which allows the message to be exchanged between the
applications. In addition to this, the Google cloud endpoint directly helps the developers
create service, which are relied on the RESTful APIs. This aspect makes this type of services
accessible through the Apple iOS, java script client and Android. Other fields of offering
which re provided mainly include direct network interconnection, DNS server, monitoring,
load balancing and logging service. It can be stated that the Google cloud service is very
user-friendly approach so that anybody can use and implement the approach.
Innovation through the process
The aspect of artificial intelligence relating to Google directly offers its cloud
machine learning which is a service, which is managed, that enables the user to train and
build model relating to learning model. Various APIs are also available in the sphere of the
APIs for the analysis of the text, speech, videos and image (Hashem et al. 2015). The
services, which are related to the internet of things (IoT) such as Google, cloud IoT core,
which is a service that enables the user to manage and consume data from the devices of the
internet of things (IoT). It can be stated here that despite of the services which are provided
by the cloud the recent outages which are related to the issues of the networking, which are
included in the concept, made the customer question the Google cloud service and its
maturity and the reliability.

Competitive advantage
Google offers different types of training certificates and programs, which is related to
Google cloud platform. This majorly include the programs related to cloud infrastructure,
machine learning, G suite administration as well as an introductory program for the platform
related to cloud. There are three-cloud certification of the Google namely:
 Certified professional data engineer
 Certified professional G suite administrator
 Professional architecture of cloud (Arpaci 2016).
There are variety of storage option relating to the storage options, which are available
in the concept of the cloud service, which are provided by Google. The main advantage,
which can be achived from the concept, is that the data can be manipulated any time in a
highly secured manner without the interference of any third party involved into the aspect.
The features, which are mainly included, may form:
 Cloud Data store: This is a NoSQL managed and scheme less database that is scalable
automatically. The service is free up to a range of 1GB total per day and prices at a range
of $0.18 per GB per month after that.
 MySQL database: The hosted version starts from a price range of around $1 a month.
 Cloud storage: Google object service storage is available in two different types of
pricing. The first one being a standard pricing which is $0.026 GB per month and durable
reduced availability which is ranged at $0.02 GB per month but has a concern with low
availability (Butler 2015).
