That’s nearly half a million products to choose from in over 460 stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. <br /> <br /> This use case posed a major challenge for the company. Its in-store inventory data was “locked” deep inside a mainframe. Exposing millions of products to thousands of customers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week would not be possible using this system. <br /> <br /> The requirements for a new solution included finding the customer’s location, searching the 90 million record inventory system and returning product availability in just the handful of stores nearest in location to that particular customer. On top of that, the API would need to serve at least 50 customers per second, while returning results in less than 200 milliseconds.<br /> <br /> <h3> Choosing the right cloud provider</h3> At the time this project began, Sports Authority had already been a <a href="https://apps.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Apps for Work</a> (Gmail, Google Sites, Docs) customer since 2011. However, it had never built any custom applications on <a href="https://cloud.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Cloud Platform</a>. <br /> <br /> After a period of due diligence checking out competing cloud provider options, Sports Authority decided that <a href="https://cloud.google.com/appengine/" target="_blank">Google App Engine</a> and <a href="https://cloud.google.com/datastore/" target="_blank">Google Cloud Datastore</a> had the right combination of attributes — elastic scaling, resiliency and simplicity of deployment — to support this new solution. <br /> <br /> Through the combined efforts of a dedicated project team, business partners and three or four talented developers, it was able to build a comprehensive solution on Cloud Platform in about five months. It consisted of multiple modules: 1) batch processes, using Informatica to push millions of product changes from its IBM mainframe to <a href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/" target="_blank">Google Cloud Storage</a> each night, 2) load processes — python code running on App Engine, which spawn task queue jobs to load Cloud Datastore, and 3) a series of SOAP and REST APIs to expose the search functionality to its ecommerce website. <br /> <br /> Sports Authority used tools including <a href="https://www.soapui.org/" target="_blank">SOAPUI</a> and <a href="https://www.loadui.org/" target="_blank">LOADUI</a> to simulate thousands of virtual users to measure the scalability of SOAP and REST APIs. It found that as the number of transactions grew past 2,000 per second, App Engine and Cloud Datastore continued to scale seamlessly, easily meeting its target response times. <br /> <br /> The company implemented the inventory locator solution just in time for the 2014 holiday season. It performed admirably during that peak selling period and continues to do so today.<br /> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6wrCRu4-GLbhgbMWio4vpu3RQjDTyCZKMiAlNl3pLH-Wcc65mqfx98-i1pp1VLr6RaeFE_6N3A-9XpFexU8W7TgdC2TMR9_xglBrmCMqHqHaBbta8a_XkpqKk5O9FmihbIL71lu9qA3lm/s1600/sports-authority-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6wrCRu4-GLbhgbMWio4vpu3RQjDTyCZKMiAlNl3pLH-Wcc65mqfx98-i1pp1VLr6RaeFE_6N3A-9XpFexU8W7TgdC2TMR9_xglBrmCMqHqHaBbta8a_XkpqKk5O9FmihbIL71lu9qA3lm/s640/sports-authority-1.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This screenshot shows what customers see when they shop for products on the website — a list of local stores, showing the availability of any given product in each store</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <br /> <br /> When a customer finds a product she's interested in buying, the website requests inventory availability from Sports Authority’s cloud API, which provides a list of stores and product availability to the customer, as exhibited in the running shoe example above.<br /> <br /> <h3> In-store kiosk</h3> As Sports Authority became comfortable building solutions on Cloud Platform, it opened its eyes to other possibilities for creating new solutions to better serve its customers. <br /> <br /> For example, it recently developed an in-store kiosk, which allows customers to search for products that may not be available in that particular store.

See what other organizations that have gone Google <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/customers.html?utm_campaign=entblog&utm_source=Ocado06062013&utm_medium=blog" target="_blank">have to say</a>.</i><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Ocado isn’t your typical corner grocery store. For one thing, there’s no corner as we’re the world's largest online-only grocery retailer reaching over 70% of British households, and now with a fast growing non-food business alongside. Our customers shop online using our award winning webshop or mobile apps and then their orders are picked and packed in one of our huge automated warehouses, the largest of their kind in the world; hours later, our vans deliver to their kitchens in one hour delivery slots. On a normal week we ship over 150,000 orders - that's over 1.1 million items each day. Google Enterprise solutions are playing a major, and expanding, role in helping us run such a time critical 24/7 operation across multiple sites. </div><br />Google Apps allows us to do things our way, wherever and whenever we want. Our staff use Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Drive to stay on top of their day to day work, and Google+ is helping our teams stay in touch, share information and build local communities. Ultimately, all of these tools help to make sure our customers get the groceries they order, on time and in the best possible condition. <br /><br />But we didn’t stop there. We looked at other ways we could use Google’s technology to help us run our business and started using Google App Engine for building internal applications. For example, we used App Engine to create a new version of our "Where's My Order” application, which our customers will soon be using to find out where their orders are within our production cycle. Once their order is on the road, the integration with Google Maps allows them to see exactly where their delivery van is. So we’re taking what used to be a chore, grocery shopping, and making it a simple experience that you can do from the convenience of your own home, or wherever you may be. <br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/zn1RvJ_Hjbg" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />Our most recent project was on Google Compute Engine. Within our warehouses there are certain tasks that are repetitive and arduous for humans to do, like picking heavy six packs of bottled water into customer orders. So our robotics team is developing solutions that use robots to automate these sorts of tasks and thus release staff for other more important work. But these robots need sophisticated 3D vision systems to enable them to see what they are doing. These are very computationally intensive applications and by providing the instantly flexible and scalable computing power to crunch all those numbers, Compute Engine provided the perfect solution. And, we are already using the cloud to store and process some of the huge volumes of data that our business spits out every minute. But with an eye to future growth and international expansion, we have plans to use Compute Engine and Cloud Storage to move other parts of our production systems to the cloud. <br /><br />So walk into an Ocado warehouse in the future and you might run into a robot if you’re not careful. Like I said, we’re not your typical corner grocery store. </div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Paul Clarke, Director of Technology of Ocado</span><br /><br /><i><b>Editor's note:</b> Our guest blogger this week is Paul Clarke, Director of Technology at <a href="http://www.ocado.com/webshop/startWebshop.do?dnr=y" target="_blank">Ocado</a>, the world’s largest online-only grocery retailer based in the UK.

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’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’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’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.

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’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’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’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’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.
