These include Google Cloud Storage, BigQuery, AutoML, Cloud GPUs and TPUs, Google Kubernetes Engine and TensorFlow as well as Google Workspace.</p> <p>DOE envisions using Google Cloud to manage the data pouring in from its research labs, support predictive machine learning models and help identify more cost-efficient renewable energy sources.</p> <p>Google Workspace, until recently known as G Suite, provides a full slate of office applications and productivity tools, from email, calendar and spreadsheets to chat and videoconferencing.

Advanced video meeting capabilities will allow officials to host or join secure video meetings with up to 250 participants, broadcast live streams to as many as 100,000 viewers and record and save meetings to Google Drive.</p> <p>The state expects to save $11.5 million over the course of the contract.</p> <p>"This collaboration -- West Virginia and Google -- is truly going to allow us to serve the people of this state better than ever, and the people should be proud of the fact that we got a great deal and will be saving millions and millions of dollars in the process," West Virginia Gov.
