For example, two weeks ago we <a href="http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/11/get-started-at-no-cost-with-faster.html">introduced</a> a major update to Google Cloud SQL providing faster performance, larger databases (100GB), an EU zone, and a <a href="http://cloud.google.com/sql">no-cost trial</a>. But, we know there is more to do. Today, we&#8217;re continuing to improve the platform with new storage and compute capabilities, significantly lower prices, and more European Datacenter support. <br><br><b>Lower storage prices and new Durable Reduced Availability (DRA) Storage</b><br>To give you more flexibility in your storage options and prices, we&#8217;re <a href="https://cloud.google.com/pricing/cloud-storage">reducing the price of standard Google Cloud Storage by over 20%</a> and introducing a limited preview of <a href="//goo.gl/AibNX">Durable Reduced Availability</a> (DRA) storage. DRA storage lowers prices by trading off some data availability while maintaining the same latency performance and durability as standard Google Cloud Storage. DRA can be used for things like batch compute jobs that can easily be rescheduled or for data back-up where quick access to your data is important. DRA achieves cost savings by keeping fewer redundant replicas of data. Unlike other reduced redundancy cloud storage offerings, DRA is implemented in a manner that maintains data durability so you don't have to worry about losing your data in the cloud. <br><br>And, to automatically keep a history of old versions of your data, we&#8217;re introducing <a href="https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/object-versioning">Object Versioning</a>. You can also use it to help protect against deleting or overwriting your data by mistake or due to an application error. <br><br><b>More European Datacenter support</b><br>We are continuing to roll out our <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDllb3FHLS1IdXVIcjVKR3FScklka1E6MQ#gid=0">European Datacenter support</a>. Now, customers using Google App Engine, Google Cloud Storage, Google Cloud SQL and (soon) Google Compute Engine can deploy their applications, data and virtual machines to European Datacenters. This helps bring your solutions even closer to your customers for faster performance and enables international redundancy. <br><br><b>36 New Compute Engine instance types and overall reduced prices</b><br>Earlier this year we <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/google-compute-engine-computing-without.html">introduced</a> a Limited Preview of Google Compute Engine with four standard instance types. Today, we are announcing <a href="https://cloud.google.com/pricing/compute-engine">36 additional instance types</a> and are <a href="https://cloud.google.com/pricing/compute-engine">reducing the price of our original 4 standard instances</a> by about 5% for those currently in our preview. In the coming weeks, the following will be available: <br><br><ul><li><b>High Memory Instance</b> - High performance instances tailored for applications that demand large amounts of memory.</li><li><b>High CPU Instance</b> - Reduced cost option when applications don&#8217;t require as much memory.</li><li><b>Diskless Configurations</b> - Lower cost options for applications that do not require ephemeral disk and can exclusively utilize persistent disk. </li></ul><br> We are also introducing <a href="https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/reference/v1beta13/snapshots">Persistent Disk Snapshotting</a> which makes it simple to instantly create a backup of your disk, move it around Google datacenters, and use the snapshot to start up a new VM. <br><br>We want to thank you, the community of developers and businesses who are pushing the platform into new areas and building innovative applications.

For the past three years, we&#8217;ve actually been the leading construction materials retailer in Brazil. To be successful in the retail industry, it&#8217;s important that our employees are able to work together across our corporate and store locations to provide the best experience for our customers.<p> As our business grew in Brazil, we found ourselves faced with a number of IT challenges. One of our biggest obstacles was communicating between our locations in Brazil and our headquarters in France. We found that our calendar system was so unreliable that our own directors would use their personal Google Calendars to share events with one another. With a growing retail business - regularly opening new stores and traveling between different locations - we knew we needed an IT platform with more flexibility, mobility, and reliability if we wanted to keep our employees and customers happy.<p> That&#8217;s why we moved our 2,100 IT users to Google Apps for Business last year. With Google Apps, our team is now able to work together easily and much more efficiently, while providing a much better experience for our customers. When a customer wants to know if an item is in stock, our sales rep can immediately chat with our logistics team using Google Talk and verify the inventory in real time. We can also now share calendars across our stores and with headquarters in France, which allow us to better manage our promotions and events, and helps us to always know what&#8217;s happening across the Atlantic.<p> Google Apps for Business not only helped us streamline our business, but the costs savings have been substantial. We&#8217;ve been able to cancel our antispam and antivirus contacts saving us $25,000 per year and Google+ Hangouts have saved us from having to make a $100,000 investment in videoconferencing technology. On top of that, we ended up saving $200,000 in infrastructure and maintenance costs that we would&#8217;ve spent setting up users on our old IT system last year.<p> It&#8217;s clear that Google Apps for Business was the right choice for us: in a recent company survey, our employees gave Google Apps a 95 percent satisfaction rating.

See what other organizations that have gone Google <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/customers.html#utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-LeroyMerlin111912&amp;utm_campaign=en_us">have to say</a>. </i><br><br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-ucB_HveBGAQ/UKp7s5CkbRI/AAAAAAAAApA/RkFJ9mSStIE/s1600/LeroyBrasiliaFachada.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="213" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-ucB_HveBGAQ/UKp7s5CkbRI/AAAAAAAAApA/RkFJ9mSStIE/s320/LeroyBrasiliaFachada.JPG" width="320"></a></div>We expanded Leroy Merlin - the French home improvement and gardening store - to Brazil in 1998 and have grown to more than 26 stores and over 6,000 employees throughout the country. For the past three years, we&#8217;ve actually been the leading construction materials retailer in Brazil. To be successful in the retail industry, it&#8217;s important that our employees are able to work together across our corporate and store locations to provide the best experience for our customers.<p> As our business grew in Brazil, we found ourselves faced with a number of IT challenges. One of our biggest obstacles was communicating between our locations in Brazil and our headquarters in France. We found that our calendar system was so unreliable that our own directors would use their personal Google Calendars to share events with one another. With a growing retail business - regularly opening new stores and traveling between different locations - we knew we needed an IT platform with more flexibility, mobility, and reliability if we wanted to keep our employees and customers happy.<p> That&#8217;s why we moved our 2,100 IT users to Google Apps for Business last year. With Google Apps, our team is now able to work together easily and much more efficiently, while providing a much better experience for our customers. When a customer wants to know if an item is in stock, our sales rep can immediately chat with our logistics team using Google Talk and verify the inventory in real time. We can also now share calendars across our stores and with headquarters in France, which allow us to better manage our promotions and events, and helps us to always know what&#8217;s happening across the Atlantic.<p> Google Apps for Business not only helped us streamline our business, but the costs savings have been substantial. We&#8217;ve been able to cancel our antispam and antivirus contacts saving us $25,000 per year and Google+ Hangouts have saved us from having to make a $100,000 investment in videoconferencing technology. On top of that, we ended up saving $200,000 in infrastructure and maintenance costs that we would&#8217;ve spent setting up users on our old IT system last year.<p> It&#8217;s clear that Google Apps for Business was the right choice for us: in a recent company survey, our employees gave Google Apps a 95 percent satisfaction rating. It&#8217;s so rewarding for me to know that these tools are helping us provide a better experience for our customers and our employees. </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/home-improvement-leroy-merlin-moves.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Home improvement: Leroy Merlin moves 1,900 users to Google Apps in Brazil &url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/home-improvement-leroy-merlin-moves.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/home-improvement-leroy-merlin-moves.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'> &#57529; </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/home-improvement-leroy-merlin-moves.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/home-improvement-leroy-merlin-moves.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/home-improvement-leroy-merlin-moves.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/gonegoogle' rel='tag'> gonegoogle </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='4843787904778555453' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/larger-hangouts-in-google-for.html' itemprop='url' title='Larger hangouts in Google+ for businesses, governments and schools'> Larger hangouts in Google+ for businesses, governments and schools </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, November 15, 2012 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Ronald Ho, Product Manager, Google Apps</span><br><br>Like Google Apps, we think Google+ can help colleagues <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/08/bringing-google-to-work.html">collaborate more easily and get things done</a>.

However, as at most enterprises, this &#8220;corporate knowledge&#8221; is contained in various places across the company. <br><br> For instance, in a single customer support call, our team might need to consult and filter through more than four different applications to see if similar issues had been solved before, or look for an existing fix. Doing this one by one using the default search tool within these systems was a real time-waster. It also meant we could overlook some of the information needed to make better decisions. And in the meantime, our customer is waiting! <br><br> To solve this problem, we recently started using the Google Search Appliance (GSA) across these systems. With the GSA, it was pretty straightforward to provide a single, unified search box, similar to a &#8220;Google.com for our business.&#8221; As with Google.com, we no longer have to ask the question of &#8220;which site might have this,&#8221; or correlate different ideas from different systems. Google made it possible to connect to our various sources, all while preserving the end-user security we apply to our different content. <br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-58nhFgxWM60/UKKzEuixggI/AAAAAAAAKDc/BucPKD_vSUQ/s1600/juniper%2Bscreenshot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="411" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-58nhFgxWM60/UKKzEuixggI/AAAAAAAAKDc/BucPKD_vSUQ/s400/juniper%2Bscreenshot.png" width="500"></a></div> Using GSA means one source of truth, delivering highly relevant search results. With our previous solution, employees wouldn&#8217;t find what they were looking for, or would have to look through multiple pages before finding it. With the GSA, people find what they are looking for on the first page without having to click back. <br><br> This has reduced turnaround time in solving customer problems and improved the level of our service. This saves direct costs, but, more importantly, leads to happier customers. For engineering, it means faster access to relevant information such as technical specification documents, product plans, and customer cases, which helps them design and build innovative products and solutions, better and faster. <br><br> Compared to traditional enterprise search solutions, GSA requires less human intervention for configuration, management and optimization, and we estimate that our labor costs have been reduced by approximately 25% as a result. Overall, by deploying Google Search internally, not only have we seen a tremendous boost in employee productivity, but we&#8217;ve managed to delight our employees by delivering a search experience that they are familiar with in their personal lives and also scales to the Enterprise. </script> <noscript> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Brian Kissel, Business CIO, <a href="http://www.juniper.net">Juniper Networks</a></span><br><br><i><b>Editors note:</b>Today&#8217;s guest blogger is Brian Kissel, Business CIO of Juniper Networks, a global producer of digital network solutions and services.

In 2011, after a pilot session with the IT department, QDI <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/06/quality-distribution-spends-less-on.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-chromeqdi_11012012&utm_medium=blog">rolled out</a> Google Apps company-wide with the help of <a href="http://www.cloudsherpas.com/#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-chromeqdi_11012012&utm_medium=blog">Cloud Sherpas</a>. In just a few months, I knew going Google was the right move for QDI. It allowed employees to connect to all of our locations and all of our drivers from anywhere without intensive IT support, and Google Apps was less than half the cost of Microsoft Exchange. <br><br>Around the time we deployed Google Apps, our computers started to slow down and break due to age. We refurbished older computers, but their value was minimal since they couldn&#8217;t run newer versions of the Windows operating system. In 2010, we started looking into purchasing new devices, including Linux and Chrome OS devices. Ultimately, we decided to move forward with Google <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/#utm_campaign=en&amp;utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-chromeqdi_10312012&amp;utm_medium=blog">Chromebooks and Chromeboxes</a>, deploying 500 devices across 125 locations in the last year. <br><br>With Chrome devices, we can spend less time worrying about hardware, and software security patches, and more time focused on optimizing the user experience of our systems. Not only are the devices easy to manage from an IT perspective, but we also expect to save $500,000 on hardware alone over the next five years. As part of our move to Chromebooks, we also web-enabled some of our existing Windows-based apps using HTML5-based virtualization software from <a href="http://www.ericom.com/html5_rdp_client.asp#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-chromeqdi_11012012&utm_medium=blog">Ericom</a>, making them easier to maintain. <br><br>Going Google has helped QDI improve collaboration, save money and eliminate IT headaches. Most importantly, our employees are more productive with easy-to-use technology. We&#8217;re looking forward to continued growth and providing the best service to our clients with help from Google. </script> <noscript> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Cliff Dixon, Vice President of Information Technology, Quality Distribution Inc.</span><br><br><i><b>Editors note:</b> Today&#8217;s guest blogger is Cliff Dixon, Vice President of Information Technology, Quality Distribution Inc.

In 2011, after a pilot session with the IT department, QDI <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/06/quality-distribution-spends-less-on.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-chromeqdi_11012012&utm_medium=blog">rolled out</a> Google Apps company-wide with the help of <a href="http://www.cloudsherpas.com/#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-chromeqdi_11012012&utm_medium=blog">Cloud Sherpas</a>. In just a few months, I knew going Google was the right move for QDI. It allowed employees to connect to all of our locations and all of our drivers from anywhere without intensive IT support, and Google Apps was less than half the cost of Microsoft Exchange. <br><br>Around the time we deployed Google Apps, our computers started to slow down and break due to age. We refurbished older computers, but their value was minimal since they couldn&#8217;t run newer versions of the Windows operating system. In 2010, we started looking into purchasing new devices, including Linux and Chrome OS devices. Ultimately, we decided to move forward with Google <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/#utm_campaign=en&amp;utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-chromeqdi_10312012&amp;utm_medium=blog">Chromebooks and Chromeboxes</a>, deploying 500 devices across 125 locations in the last year. <br><br>With Chrome devices, we can spend less time worrying about hardware, and software security patches, and more time focused on optimizing the user experience of our systems. Not only are the devices easy to manage from an IT perspective, but we also expect to save $500,000 on hardware alone over the next five years. As part of our move to Chromebooks, we also web-enabled some of our existing Windows-based apps using HTML5-based virtualization software from <a href="http://www.ericom.com/html5_rdp_client.asp#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-chromeqdi_11012012&utm_medium=blog">Ericom</a>, making them easier to maintain. <br><br>Going Google has helped QDI improve collaboration, save money and eliminate IT headaches. Most importantly, our employees are more productive with easy-to-use technology. We&#8217;re looking forward to continued growth and providing the best service to our clients with help from Google. </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/quality-distribution-inc-saves-money.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Quality Distribution Inc. saves money and increases productivity by going Google&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/quality-distribution-inc-saves-money.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/quality-distribution-inc-saves-money.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'> &#57529; </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='2' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/quality-distribution-inc-saves-money.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/quality-distribution-inc-saves-money.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/quality-distribution-inc-saves-money.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3354301599306971892' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/insphere-insurance-solutions-comes.html' itemprop='url' title='Insphere Insurance Solutions comes together with Google Apps'> Insphere Insurance Solutions comes together with Google Apps </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, November 1, 2012 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Steve Jensen, VP of Information Technology at Insphere Insurance Solutions, Inc.</span><br><br> <i><b>Editors note:</b> Today&#8217;s guest blogger is Steve Jensen, Vice President of Information Technology at Insphere Insurance Solutions, Inc., one of the fastest growing insurance distribution companies in the U.S. <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/customers.html#utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-Insphere1101012&amp;utm_campaign=en_us">See what other organizations that have gone Google have to say</a>.</i><br><br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="//3.bp.blogspot.com/-CKfO4i2cBNo/UJLmiyQPDDI/AAAAAAAAAoI/vWrIDwjtW74/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2012-11-01%2Bat%2B10.12.30%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="129" src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/-CKfO4i2cBNo/UJLmiyQPDDI/AAAAAAAAAoI/vWrIDwjtW74/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2012-11-01%2Bat%2B10.12.30%2BAM.png" width="320"></a></div>Insphere Insurance Solutions, Inc. is a distribution company that specializes in meeting the insurance needs of small businesses and middle-income individuals and families.
