Google Cloud Platform

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides a comprehensive suite of cloud computing services running on the same infrastructure that powers Google Search, YouTube, and Gmail. With a focus on data analytics, machine learning, and open-source technologies, GCP is the cloud of choice for organisations that want to leverage cutting-edge AI capabilities alongside reliable compute, storage, and networking services.

GCP's data and analytics portfolio is industry-leading: BigQuery processes petabytes of data in seconds with serverless SQL analytics, Dataflow provides real-time stream processing, and Looker delivers business intelligence with governed data models. For machine learning, Vertex AI offers a unified platform for building, training, and deploying ML models, while pre-trained APIs provide vision, speech, natural language, and translation capabilities out of the box.

Infrastructure services include Compute Engine (VMs), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for container orchestration, Cloud Run for serverless containers, and App Engine for fully managed application hosting. GCP's global network — one of the largest in the world — delivers consistently low latency and high throughput. Africa-bound traffic benefits from Google's Equiano subsea cable landing in multiple African countries.
