Google’s Cloud To Partially Power iCloud

Google’s Symbolic Victory

Google- A Winner Google is third in the enterprise cloud business, but recently hired former VMWare co-founder

Dianne Greene to lead and grow their cloud business.

Company has big plans to make have their cloud business more profitable than their current ads

business within five years.

Google has at least one advantage compared to competitors due to its extensive fiber networks

that connect their data centers and help lowers bandwidth costs.

Just last month, Spotify also announced they will be using Google’s Cloud Platform to power their

music backend.

Google- Winning Strategy Last month the Google Cloud Platform gained a major customer when Spotify decided to ditch its own

data centers and rely on Google’s platform instead.

Google’s latest customer Apple has signed a deal to power part of iCloud using the Google Cloud

Platform, according to a report from CRN.

Google’s cloud team is in deal-making mode, aggressively. Team is seeking to bring in new customers

to use its cloud services.

Apple and Google both declined to comment.

According to Amir Efrati of The Information, it will take a year for iCloud to be fully running on the

Google Cloud Platform and it is unlikely to be very profitable for Google, as it was not for Amazon.

However, it is a symbolic victory that shows Google is making headway into the enterprise cloud

business.

Apple Ties With Google

This is definitely an interesting step to see Apple in such a

close business relationship with one of its chief competitors.

But this deal may not actually last all that long.

In a report released last month, Morgan Stanley speculated

that Apple may be looking into building its own data centers.

As computing in general becomes more cloud focused, a

move by Apple away from reliance on other companies for its

cloud services would certainly make sense.

iCloud Deal

Apple has inked down a prominent deal with Google.

This deal will see the Google Cloud Platform providing some of the cloud infrastructure for iCloud

and other cloud-based Apple services.

Apple reportedly established a $400 to $600 million deal with Google last year and has, as a result,

"significantly" cut down on its reliance on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

A Deal To Believe

Apple has never confirmed the cloud services that power iCloud.

As per the rumors have pointed that Apple will continue using multiple services to meet its needs.

Apple has not stopped using Amazon's cloud computing services entirely, they are presumably

cutting back their dependence in order to save costs.

But it might be short-lived, as it looks like Apple is also simultaneously building out its own system to

bring data stored on its millions of devices in house.

iCloud-Background Prior to this supposed tie-up, iCloud was reportedly powered by Amazon Web Services and

Microsoft Azure.

According to Morgan Stanley, Apple spends around $1 billion (roughly Rs. 6671 crore) annually

on AWS, as cited in the report.

According to an Apple support document, which was updated last year, iCloud utilizes third-party

storage services. From the passage in which Apple is talking about iCloud security.
