A win for cloud
Cloud, which was once flung around the sector as a buzzword, has now firmly settled as a key element of running and maintaining businesses worldwide.
According to a recent whitepaper byArcserve, there will be over 100 zettabytes of data stored in the cloud by 2025 - the equivalent of around 50% of the world’s data by that time, and a significant increase from the 25% stored in the cloud back in 2015.
GoogleCloud says the new partnership will offer its customers the chance to utilize the planned global availability of multiple SAP services and products on its cloud infrastructure, including the SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Data Warehouse Cloud solutions within SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
“Offering integration between SAP solutions, SAP BTP, and Google Cloud infrastructure and capabilities in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics gives customers both the choice they desire as well as the innovative portfolio they seek to transform their businesses in the cloud," noted Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of SAP responsible for SAP Product Engineering.
