Rymer and James Staten with Peter Burris, Christopher Mines, and Dominique Whittaker GOOGLE, NOW A FULL-SERVICE PLATFORM, IS RUNNING TO CATCH THE LEADERS Since our last analysis, Google has made significant improvements to its cloud platform — adding an IaaS service, innovated with new big data solutions (based on its homegrown dremel architecture), and added partners. Google is popular among web developers — we estimate that it has between 10,000 and 99,000 customers. But Google Cloud Platform lacks several key certifications, monitoring and security controls, and application services important to CIOs and provided by AWS and Microsoft.1 Google has also been slow to position its cloud platform as the home for applications that want to leverage the broad set of Google services such as Android, AdSense, Search, Maps, and so many other technologies. Look for that to be a key focus in 2015, and for a faster cadence of new features.

Convey’s hybrid-core technology provides a solution. The rapid growth of the Internet, and the emergence of hyperscale computing are placing new demands on the flow of web traffic. For example, companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook have created hyperscale data centers to handle exponentially increasing traffic driven by social networking and on-line commerce. The problem of delivering content to consumers in a real-time manner is compounded by this explosive growth.
