“The Google Cloud Platform Partner Program enables us to integrate our product offerings for both development and web operations teams with the power of the Google Cloud Platform,” said Christopher Brown, CTO of Opscode.  “The Google Cloud Platform offers a broad set of application development, cloud storage, large scale computing, and big data capabilities that provide Opscode customers the ability to scale their technology infrastructure with ease and with confidence.”

Google’s Cloud Platform products enable customers to implement:

  • Cloud app solutions, such as mobile apps, social apps, business process apps, and websites, using Google App Engine and Google Cloud SQL.
  • Cloud storage solutions, such as high-end backup and recovery, active archiving, global file sharing/collaboration, and primary SAN/NAS, using Google Cloud Storage.
  • Large-scale computing solutions, such as batch processing, data processing and high performance computing using Google Compute Engine.
