Our developers inspire us everyday, and we can’t wait to see what you build next.<br /><br /></div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/05/ushering-in-next-generation-of.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:Ushering in the next generation of computing at Google I/O&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/05/ushering-in-next-generation-of.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/2013/05/ushering-in-next-generation-of.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'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='1' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/05/ushering-in-next-generation-of.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/05/ushering-in-next-generation-of.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/05/ushering-in-next-generation-of.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/cloud%20computing' rel='tag'> cloud computing </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/cloud%20platform' rel='tag'> cloud platform </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5358878165880875894' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/04/google-compute-engine-now-available-to.html' itemprop='url' title='Google Compute Engine - Now Available to Gold Support Customers'> Google Compute Engine - Now Available to Gold Support Customers </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, April 4, 2013 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Navneet Joneja, Product Manager</span><br /><br /><a href="http://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine" target="_blank">Google Compute Engine</a> gives developers everywhere access to <a href="//www.google.com/about/datacenters/" target="_blank">Google's computing infrastructure</a>.

But there’s a <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-future-hitting-refresh-on-business.html">fundamental shift</a> underway: in the last few years, consumer technology has begun to outpace business technology. People have fallen in love with the simplicity and freedom of living in the cloud with the help of modern browsers and smartphones—and they want to bring that experience to the workplace. <br><br>This is where Google comes in. For the better part of the past decade, we’ve worked to extend our popular consumer products—everything from Gmail and Google Drive to Maps, Google+ and Search—to meet your business needs. It should be easy for you to work better together, from anywhere, with secure (and simple!) tools. Here’s a look back at some key highlights from 2012. <br><br><b>Work securely...</b><br>Keeping your information secure is one of our top priorities. To that end, domain administrators can now <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/posted-by-rishi-dhand-product-manager.html"><i>require</i> their employees</a> to use <a href="https://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=1056283&answer=180744&rd=1">2-step verification</a>, an additional layer of security that reduces the chance of unauthorized account access. Your company can also use <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/03/google-apps-vault-brings-information.html">Google Apps Vault</a>, a solution for managing and archiving critical information for legal and regulatory reasons. If your business operates outside the U.S., we now offer <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/google-apps-to-offer-additional.html">Model Contract Clauses</a> as an additional way to comply with the European Commission’s Data Protection Directive. Finally, Google Apps received <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/05/google-apps-receives-iso-27001.html">ISO 27001 certification</a>, ensuring our systems meet one of the most widely, internationally accepted independent security standards. <br><br><b>… anytime, anywhere...</b><br>It should be easy to get work done – anytime, on any device, with anyone. With <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/get-things-done-anytime-anywhere.html">offline editing</a> in Chrome, you can now create and edit Google documents and leave comments even when you don’t have an Internet connection. Any changes you make will be automatically synced when you get back online. When you’re travelling, you can also edit Google <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/09/google-drive-updates-for-ios-and-android.html">documents</a> and <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2012/11/edit-spreadsheets-on-go-with-drive.html">spreadsheets</a> using the Drive app on your <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/google-drive/id507874739?mt=8">iPhone, iPad</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs">Android</a> device. Just like on your computer, you’ll be able to see other people’s edits instantly as they’re made. <br><br>If your business has workers on the go, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/introducing-google-maps-coordinate.html">Google Maps Coordinate</a> combines the power of Google’s mapping technologies with modern smartphones to help you improve communication with employees in the field. In addition, the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-new-way-to-distribute-your-internal.html">Google Play Private Channel</a> lets you distribute internal apps to your employees who use Android devices. The new <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-new-chromebook-for-everyone.html">Chromebooks</a> and <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/05/next-step-in-chrome-os-journey-for.html">Chromeboxes</a> we launched with our partners are secure and easy to manage, which makes them especially great devices for <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/01/bringing-chromebooks-to-every-classroom.html">1-to-1 programs</a> in schools, additional laptops <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/11/quality-distribution-inc-saves-money.html">for office workers</a>, or desktop units for multiple users <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/08/kaplan-tests-high-with-google-apps-for.html">in a call center</a>. (And we’re honored that Inc. Magazine named the Chromebox one of the <a href="http://www.inc.com/ss/john-brandon/best-business-gadgets-2012#6">best business gadgets</a> of 2012.) <br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-3P-IWZ2wRNw/UNNxYgKFtMI/AAAAAAAAAyk/CEH4vtXZImk/s1600/coordinate%2Bpress%2Bimage.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="281" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-3P-IWZ2wRNw/UNNxYgKFtMI/AAAAAAAAAyk/CEH4vtXZImk/s400/coordinate%2Bpress%2Bimage.png" width="400"></a></div><br><b>...with simple tools...</b><br>We’ve also focused on making our products simpler and easier for you to use – both at home and at work. We introduced <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/04/introducing-google-drive-newest-member.html">Google Drive</a> as a single place for you to create, share, collaborate and keep all your work. You can now <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/gmail-and-drive-new-way-to-send-files.html">insert files</a> (up to 10GB) from Drive directly into an email without leaving your Gmail inbox, and you can <a href="https://plus.google.com/+googleenterprise/posts/ieLoEcUzeAB">share work</a> from Drive on Google+. <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/11/larger-hangouts-in-google-for.html">You and up to 14 colleagues</a> can join a Google+ hangout directly from a <a href="http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2690797">calendar entry</a> or your <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/video-chat-face-to-face-to-face-with.html">email inbox</a>. Once inside a hangout, you can <a href="https://support.google.com/plus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2485245">open a Google Doc</a> for everyone to see and work on simultaneously. And if your company uses Chrome along with Google Apps, you can now <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/10/enhanced-chrome-browser-support-for.html">call or email us</a> for help with Chrome. <br><br>With the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/10/introducing-google-search-appliance.html">Google Search Appliance 7.0</a>, you can search for a document on your company’s intranet just as easily as you’d search for a holiday recipe on Google.com. And if your business relies on geographic data—say, to map gas pipelines or help customers locate your store—you can use Google Maps and Earth Enterprise to <a href="http://www.morethanamap.com/">visualize your data</a> on the Google Maps interface you’re already familiar with. <br><br><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Rgs3OUDDxtw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><br><b>...supported by partners and Google infrastructure</b><br>Whether it’s Apps for Business, Maps Coordinate, or just a Google search, most Google services you use are possible only because of the powerful and <a href="//www.google.com/green">energy-efficient</a> infrastructure we’ve built over the years.

But there’s a <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-future-hitting-refresh-on-business.html">fundamental shift</a> underway: in the last few years, consumer technology has begun to outpace business technology. People have fallen in love with the simplicity and freedom of living in the cloud with the help of modern browsers and smartphones—and they want to bring that experience to the workplace. <br><br>This is where Google comes in. For the better part of the past decade, we’ve worked to extend our popular consumer products—everything from Gmail and Google Drive to Maps, Google+ and Search—to meet your business needs. It should be easy for you to work better together, from anywhere, with secure (and simple!) tools. Here’s a look back at some key highlights from 2012. <br><br><b>Work securely...</b><br>Keeping your information secure is one of our top priorities. To that end, domain administrators can now <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/posted-by-rishi-dhand-product-manager.html"><i>require</i> their employees</a> to use <a href="https://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=1056283&answer=180744&rd=1">2-step verification</a>, an additional layer of security that reduces the chance of unauthorized account access. Your company can also use <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/03/google-apps-vault-brings-information.html">Google Apps Vault</a>, a solution for managing and archiving critical information for legal and regulatory reasons. If your business operates outside the U.S., we now offer <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/google-apps-to-offer-additional.html">Model Contract Clauses</a> as an additional way to comply with the European Commission’s Data Protection Directive. Finally, Google Apps received <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/05/google-apps-receives-iso-27001.html">ISO 27001 certification</a>, ensuring our systems meet one of the most widely, internationally accepted independent security standards. <br><br><b>… anytime, anywhere...</b><br>It should be easy to get work done – anytime, on any device, with anyone. With <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/get-things-done-anytime-anywhere.html">offline editing</a> in Chrome, you can now create and edit Google documents and leave comments even when you don’t have an Internet connection. Any changes you make will be automatically synced when you get back online. When you’re travelling, you can also edit Google <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/09/google-drive-updates-for-ios-and-android.html">documents</a> and <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2012/11/edit-spreadsheets-on-go-with-drive.html">spreadsheets</a> using the Drive app on your <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/google-drive/id507874739?mt=8">iPhone, iPad</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs">Android</a> device. Just like on your computer, you’ll be able to see other people’s edits instantly as they’re made. <br><br>If your business has workers on the go, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/06/introducing-google-maps-coordinate.html">Google Maps Coordinate</a> combines the power of Google’s mapping technologies with modern smartphones to help you improve communication with employees in the field. In addition, the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-new-way-to-distribute-your-internal.html">Google Play Private Channel</a> lets you distribute internal apps to your employees who use Android devices. The new <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-new-chromebook-for-everyone.html">Chromebooks</a> and <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/05/next-step-in-chrome-os-journey-for.html">Chromeboxes</a> we launched with our partners are secure and easy to manage, which makes them especially great devices for <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/01/bringing-chromebooks-to-every-classroom.html">1-to-1 programs</a> in schools, additional laptops <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/11/quality-distribution-inc-saves-money.html">for office workers</a>, or desktop units for multiple users <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/08/kaplan-tests-high-with-google-apps-for.html">in a call center</a>. (And we’re honored that Inc. Magazine named the Chromebox one of the <a href="http://www.inc.com/ss/john-brandon/best-business-gadgets-2012#6">best business gadgets</a> of 2012.) <br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-3P-IWZ2wRNw/UNNxYgKFtMI/AAAAAAAAAyk/CEH4vtXZImk/s1600/coordinate%2Bpress%2Bimage.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="281" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-3P-IWZ2wRNw/UNNxYgKFtMI/AAAAAAAAAyk/CEH4vtXZImk/s400/coordinate%2Bpress%2Bimage.png" width="400"></a></div><br><b>...with simple tools...</b><br>We’ve also focused on making our products simpler and easier for you to use – both at home and at work.

Unable to complete high school, he worked as a night shift security guard earning $500/month to support his family. During the rush hour commute from his home in Khayelitsha, Vuyile realized that he could earn extra income by selling prepaid mobile airtime vouchers to other commuters on the train. <br><br>In rural areas, it’s common to use prepaid vouchers to pay for basic services such as electricity, insurance and airtime for mobile phones. But it’s often difficult to distribute physical vouchers because of the risk of theft and fraud. <br><br><a href="http://www.nomanini.com/">Nomanini</a>, a startup based in South Africa, built a device that enables local entrepreneurs like Vuyile to sell prepaid mobile services in their communities. The Lula (which means “easy” in colloquial Zulu), is a portable voucher sales terminal that is used on-the-go by people ranging from taxi drivers to street vendors. It generates and prints codes which people purchase to add minutes to their mobile phones. <br><br>Today, Vuyile sells vouchers on the train for cash payment, and earns a commission weekly.

Their development team doesn’t have to spend time setting up their own servers and can instead run on the same infrastructure that powers Google’s own applications.

When Vuyile makes a sale, he presses a few buttons, App Engine processes the request, and the voucher prints in seconds. <br><br>Last month, 40,000 people bought airtime through the Lula, and Nomanini hopes to grow this number to 1 million per month next year. While platforms like App Engine are typically used to build web or smartphone apps, entrepreneurs like Vahid and Ali are finding innovative ways to leverage this technology by building their own devices and connecting them to App Engine. Vahid tells us: “We’re a uniquely born and bred African solution, and we have great potential to take this to the rest of Africa and wider emerging markets. We could not easily scale this fast without running on Google App Engine.” <br><br>To learn more about the technical implementation used by Nomanini, read their guest post on the <a href="http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2012/12/developer-insights-mobile-voucher-sales.html">Google App Engine blog</a>. </script> <noscript> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Zafir Khan, Google App Engine Team</span><br><br><i>(Cross-posted on the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/cloud-computing-enabling.html">Official Google Blog</a>.)</i> <br><br>In 2007, 33-year-old Vuyile moved to Cape Town from rural South Africa in search of work.

We could not easily scale this fast without running on Google App Engine.” <br><br>To learn more about the technical implementation used by Nomanini, read their guest post on the <a href="http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2012/12/developer-insights-mobile-voucher-sales.html">Google App Engine blog</a>. </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/12/cloud-computing-enabling.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:Cloud computing enabling entrepreneurship in Africa&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/12/cloud-computing-enabling.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/2012/12/cloud-computing-enabling.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'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='20' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/12/cloud-computing-enabling.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/12/cloud-computing-enabling.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/12/cloud-computing-enabling.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/cloud%20platform' rel='tag'> cloud platform </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20App%20Engine' rel='tag'> Google App Engine </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1670329758267202093' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/google-cloud-storage-more-value-for.html' itemprop='url' title='Google Cloud Storage - more value for performance'> Google Cloud Storage - more value for performance </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, November 29, 2012 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Dave Barth, Product Manager</span><br /><br /><i>(Cross-posted to <a href="http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/11/google-cloud-storage-more-value-for.html">Google Developers Blog</a>)</i> <br /><br /><b id="internal-source-marker_0.7960947244428098" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Earlier this week, we <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2012/11/google-cloud-platform-new-features.html">announced</a> a collection of improvements across Google Cloud Platform including 36 new Compute Engine instances, Durable Reduced Availability (DRA) storage, Object Versioning, and European datacenter support.

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>.

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.

Publish and share data with Google Sheets, add data to Google Sites pages or create simple Google Forms without worrying about hosting or configuring servers. </li></ul><b><b><br /></b><b>Introducing a new trial offer </b></b><br />Many of you have requested a trial offer to test out Cloud SQL. Today, we’re introducing a 6- month trial offer at no charge, effective until June 1, 2013. This will include one Cloud SQL instance with 0.5 GB of storage. <a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/cloud-sql" target="_blank">Sign up</a> now and get started on Cloud SQL at no cost.</div> </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/get-started-at-no-cost-with-faster.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:Get started at no cost with a faster, larger Cloud SQL database&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/get-started-at-no-cost-with-faster.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/get-started-at-no-cost-with-faster.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'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='1' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/get-started-at-no-cost-with-faster.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/get-started-at-no-cost-with-faster.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/11/get-started-at-no-cost-with-faster.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/cloud%20platform' rel='tag'> cloud platform </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/cloud%20services' rel='tag'> cloud services </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/cloud%20sql' rel='tag'> cloud sql </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3090843766180461882' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/10/streak-powers-their-business-on-google.html' itemprop='url' title='Streak powers their business on Google Cloud Platform'> Streak powers their business on Google Cloud Platform </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, October 9, 2012 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Aleem Mawani, co-founder of Streak</span><br /><br /><i><b>Editors note:</b> Today’s guest blogger is Aleem Mawani, co-founder of <a href="http://www.streak.com/">Streak</a>, a startup alum of <a href="http://ycombinator.com/">Y Combinator</a>, a Silicon Valley incubator.

There is so much information available today that it can be difficult to gain insights and make business decisions based on that data. <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/117578386194324385666/posts/ieppuFMWzQm">Last month</a>, Google BigQuery integrated several partner solutions, making it easier to import data from other cloud and on-premise solutions and visualize your data with rich interactive dashboards. Today, we’re giving you new ways to work with your data by adding two new features to <a href="http://cloud.google.com/bigquery">BigQuery</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Batch Queries</span><br /><br />While BigQuery specializes in getting insights quickly, we understand that there are important, non-interactive queries, such as nightly reports, that businesses also need to run. Now, you can designate a query as a batch query and it will complete within a few hours.If you’re using BigQuery via our standard self-service model, you pay 2 cents per GB processed for <a href="https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/pricing">batch queries</a> and 3.5 cents per GB processed for <a href="https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/pricing">interactive queries</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">BigQuery Connector for Excel</span><br /><br />Analysts and executives use spreadsheets to explore large data sets. Last year, we launched the ability for BigQuery users to execute queries inside Google spreadsheets using the <a href="https://developers.google.com/apps-script/service_bigquery">Google Apps Script</a> integration. With the new BigQuery Connector for Excel, we’re now making it simpler to execute BigQuery queries using Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Excel.

There is so much information available today that it can be difficult to gain insights and make business decisions based on that data. <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/117578386194324385666/posts/ieppuFMWzQm">Last month</a>, Google BigQuery integrated several partner solutions, making it easier to import data from other cloud and on-premise solutions and visualize your data with rich interactive dashboards. Today, we’re giving you new ways to work with your data by adding two new features to <a href="http://cloud.google.com/bigquery">BigQuery</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Batch Queries</span><br /><br />While BigQuery specializes in getting insights quickly, we understand that there are important, non-interactive queries, such as nightly reports, that businesses also need to run. Now, you can designate a query as a batch query and it will complete within a few hours.If you’re using BigQuery via our standard self-service model, you pay 2 cents per GB processed for <a href="https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/pricing">batch queries</a> and 3.5 cents per GB processed for <a href="https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/pricing">interactive queries</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">BigQuery Connector for Excel</span><br /><br />Analysts and executives use spreadsheets to explore large data sets. Last year, we launched the ability for BigQuery users to execute queries inside Google spreadsheets using the <a href="https://developers.google.com/apps-script/service_bigquery">Google Apps Script</a> integration. With the new BigQuery Connector for Excel, we’re now making it simpler to execute BigQuery queries using Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Excel. This connector takes advantage of Excel’s standard web query feature to eliminate the extra work of manually importing data and running queries directly within Excel.

Since 2008, we've been working to open up our infrastructure to outside developers and businesses so they can take advantage of our cloud as they build applications and websites and store and analyze data. So far this includes products like Google App Engine, Google Cloud Storage, and Google BigQuery. <br><br>Today, in response to many requests from developers and businesses, we're going a step further.

Franklin, Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley, <a href="http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2011/6/108670-technical-perspective-data-analysis-at-astonishing-speed/fulltext">remarked</a> that BigQuery (internally known as Dremel) leverages “thousands of machines to process data at a scale that is simply jaw-dropping given the current state of the art.” We’re looking forward to helping businesses innovate faster by harnessing their own large data sets. BigQuery is available free of charge for now, and we’ll let customers know at least 30 days before the free period ends. We’re bringing on a new batch of pilot customers, so <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dGl4TUlob1RDRndMWVpIb21ORmJPZWc6MA#gid=0">let us know</a> if your business wants to test-drive BigQuery Service. </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper'
