What are the Benefits to Hosting Your

Website or App There?
According to the SADA Systems 84% of IT
managers surveyed are using public cloud
infrastructure today.
Public cloud adoption growing
and enterprise IT becoming
more comfortable with the
prospect of running their most
sensitive data on public cloud
infrastructure. Tony Safoian,

Cisco is forecasting that by 2020, cloud
traffic will represent 92 percent of all
data center network traffic.
 According to Google Trends interest surrounding Google
Cloud Platform itself has been on a very rapid rise over the
past couple years.

Recently Evernote

Other notable companies that are using Google
Cloud Platform
Google Cloud Platform consists of a set of physical
servers, as well as virtual resources like virtual
machines (VMs) that are contained in Googles data
centers around the globe.
Each data center location is in a global region such as
Central US, Western Europe, and East Asia.
Upcoming new data centers through 2017:

Google Cloud Hosting Advantages
It Has Better Pricing Than Competitors

increments they give you discounted
prices for long-running workloads. No
up-front commitment required!

AWS requires prepays in the form of reserved
instances to be eligible for the discounts.
Azure only offers a 5% discount on a
12-month prepay.
 AWS vs Google Cloud
On Google Cloud Platform you get more IOPS
for less than 1/3 of the cost!
Example configuration AWS $1,102.50/month
with 3 year contract vs. Google Clouds
$470.64/month.
 Azure vs Google Cloud
Azure setup $1,602.68/month vs. Google
Clouds $532.82/month.
In late 2016, AWS reduced prices. HFT Guy, a developer from
London discovered that Google Cloud was still 50% cheaper!
Private Global Fiber Network
One thing that sets Google Cloud Hosting apart from
some of the other players is that their network is one
of the biggest in the world.
They have a private distributed backbone between all
the data centers.
Just to illustrate, the 9,000km trans-Pacific Google
cable is the highest-capacity undersea cable ever
built and lands in Oregon in the United States and
two landing points in Japan.
By having such a large infrastructure and network,
this allows Google to give us those cheaper
computing prices as shown earlier.
Live Migration of Virtual Machines
Another huge advantage for Google Cloud Platform is
the live migrations feature of VM's. Neither AWS,
Azure providers this functionality.
Benefits of live migrations:

Better addressing
issues such as patching
repairing
updating software and
hardware
Here is an illustration of the steps involved in a live
VM migration:
 Did you know that besides live migration of VM's,
Google also offers resizing of persistent disks without
any downtime?
