The rapid development of technology has enabled command of a wide variety of products and services. Homo sapiens, particularly its younger members, are so consumed by attention-seeking gadgets and ever broadening tastes that it is difficult for young people to engage with natural sciences. To put it differently natural sciences is as hot as career option relative to others like entertainment, media, IT, fashion, engineering, medicine, tourism, care industry, creative writing etc. Natural sciences seem to have taken back seat due to current technological advancement. However, as a matter of fact, natural sciences never take back seat. The very basis of technology is natural or fundamental science, without fundamental science technology nowhere exist.

GOOGLE MAKES IT EASIER TO MOVE DATA TO ITS CLOUD

Ever wondered why suddenly, the fields of data sciences and big data have swamped into the markets in recent years and are in huge demand? How has data management become a profession in its own way? And, why are the data analysts being paid handsome amounts? Let’s look into this framework in detail.

We, as individuals, have our phones all the time, right? All the apps are a click away, and we are constantly clicking pictures, making videos, live streaming, listening to music, using the GPS tracking system, reading up our favorite blogger’s page, snapping our lives away, and then saving them for sweet memories sake. All this tremendous data that we create on a personal scale, let’s multiply it with 7.7 billion, the current population of the world.

Wow! That’s quite a lot of data. But the question is, where is this data being stored? And more importantly, who is managing this abundance amount of data produced by various firms and drawing out meaningful inferences out of it?

With technological advancements, our life is sure easier, but our data is highly unstructured. In order to shelter all this processed information in one place, Google has come to the rescue of millions of entrepreneurs with Google Cloud.

Google Cloud, in lay man’s terms in a platform for firms, to create and run the software. This software is designed aligning to the interests and requirements of the firm; for example, a school wants a system where they can connect with the teachers and students likewise. However, the functional leverage that will be given to the students and the teachers will be very different. The teacher can have access to each student’s Id, can change marks, write reviews about their performance, etc. but vice-versa won’t be allowed. Thus, to create such a user-specific system, Google Cloud can be a helping hand.

In order to deliver the software on time, the developer will require resources like knowledge about computer language, data storage, back-up facility, and of course, deployment facility, which Google Cloud readily offers. After the software comes into play, Google offers a secure and speedy transfer of data to the cloud, which in this case would be student and teacher’s ID, age, name, DOB, course, marks, contact details, etc. The software is exclusively created and run on Google Cloud, and it keeps track of every resource used by the end-user and is charged on a per-second basis.

The biggest reason for Google Cloud gaining popularity amongst developers is its user-friendliness. It saves time and makes the deployment of the software faster, making the customer satisfied.

Agile Solutions has recently been announced as Google Cloudpartners, and thus the cloud follows agile principles and values. It helps the developers to keep their customers ‘first’ and is open to alterations in its sprints. It constantly gives the developer clarity of its product and saves large sums of money as the customer is in the close loop with the developer’s progress.

Such efficiency in software making is hard to achieve on any other rival platform, and thus the cloud has been highly applauded for it. The cherry on the cake is that it is 25% cheaper than the rival Amazon Web in terms of computation and storage cost. The famous American computer programmer Larry Wall has very rightly said, “There is a saying in the software design industry: Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick two”. Thus, what is cheap, fast or good, is what sells.

Along with that, Google Cloud understands the possibilities of high internet leaks, due to small misconfigured cloud buckets. Such cases can crash the stakes of the company and in order to curb them, it is making hefty investments on making features focusing on transparency and flagging. Tool implementation knowledge is also an important tangent that Google plans to work upon in the coming future to limit human errors leading to sensitive information leakage. 

Thus, Google Cloud has it all covered under one roof and shall continue to remain a magical wand in every developer’s life, and to beat it remains unchartered territory.
