Why Intel
Performance per Cost
Extend the business value of your cloud computing workloads by selecting Intel instances in Google Cloud. Google Cloud with Intel can reduce your TCO by expanding your choices, such as by making preemptible VMs widely available with dramatically reduced pricing. For workloads with specialized demands, like AI and HPC, Intel-powered C2 instances are more cost-effective than any other choice.
Agility to Evolve and to Capitalize
Get more value from your data and your existing infrastructure with the flexibility of Intel instances on Google Cloud. Intel on Google Cloud takes your applications, data, and workloads across the globe and even across architectures, so you can find and respond to opportunity more freely.
Access the Latest Technologies
Enhance the performance of Google Cloud workloads that depend on large in-memory datasets with Intel® architecture. Intel instances are designed with homogeneous dies that deliver better memory bandwidth, less memory latency, and better price/performance ratio for workloads such as relational databases.
Get the Solution Your Enterprise Needs to Move Forward
Performance on your terms: Whether your applications require multi-cloud management, large memory, machine learning, high-performance compute, or HiFi content rendering and delivery, Google Cloud instances with the latest Intel technology provide scalable, mission-critical solutions for your needs.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on Google Cloud
Google Cloud c3 instances running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server deliver significant performance and price/performance benefits for Microsoft SQL Server, enabling companies to unify their cloud infrastructure for analytics.
Get Better Performance on Google Cloud with Intel® Architecture
Enhance the performance of Google Cloud workloads that depend on large in-memory datasets with Intel® architecture.
