Specifically, StratoZone cloud migration tools are easy to use, reliable and provide fast results, according to Choudhury and Menard.
Google Cloud Platform Revenue Growth
Meanwhile, Google Cloud remains in growth mode -- though the company's public cloud market share trails that of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and G Suite revenues rose sharply in Q1 2020, and parent Alphabet didn’t mention any signs of a Q2 slowdown during an April 28 earnings call with Wall Street analysts.
Google Cloud revenues were $2.8 billion in Q1 2020, up 52 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Data and analytics demand lifted Google Cloud Platform in the areas of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). And G Suite — the Google alternative to Microsoft 365 — continues to gain seat count while expanding its average revenue per seat, the company says.
