so at the starting at the Google level we have data centers in four continents so we're in North America South America Asia and Europe of course we have a probably one of the world's largest global private networks with you know 13 undersea cables that are our own and hundreds of thousands of miles of dark fiber and and lit fiber that we you know we operate like I said probably one of the world's largest networks we have in in Europe were in five countries in Europe we're in two countries in Asia were in one country in South America and that's at the Google and in North America of course we have many many many sites across all of North America that's at the Google level now cloud has 19 regions that they operate in and 58 zones so each region of course has multiple zones in it you know we cover Google has presence in over 200 countries worldwide so really it is truly global operations so AccuWeather has been running an API service for the past ten years and we have lots of enterprise clients but we started to realize we are missing a whole business opportunity so we partnered with a eg and we created a new self-serve API developer portal that allows developers to go in there sign up on their own and get started and it's been great for us as far as like basically unlocking new revenue opportunities with api's because as you said everything is api's we also say everything is impacted by the weather so why not have everyone use a cue other api's to fulfill their weather needs I think if you look at what's going on and I talk to a lot of customers and developers and IT teams and clearly I think they are overwhelmed with the different things which are going on in this space so how do you make it simple how do you make it open how do you make it hybrid so you have flexibility of choices becoming top of the mind for many of the users now the lock in which many vendors currently provide it becomes very difficult for many of this users people moving around and meet the business requirements so I think having a solution and technology stack which is really understanding that complexity around that and making it simple in after dock I think is important so the focus well there's a theme in a couple different levels the broad theme is a cloud like no other because we've introduced a lot of new different features and products and programs we introduced anthos this morning which was really revolutionary way of using containers broadly Multi cloud hybrid cloud so it's from a product standpoint but it's also a cloud like no other because it's about the community that's here and it's truly a partnership with our customers and our partners about building this cloud together and we see the community as a really key part of that it's really core to Google's values around openness open-source technology and really embracing the broader community to build the cloud together well you know I think it continues to be continues to cooperate in the technical community very well and a couple of data points right one is around kubernetes that started what four or five years ago and that's going really strong but more importantly you know as the industry matures there are what I would call special interest groups that are starting to emerge in the kubernetes community one thing that we are playing very close attention to is the storage sake which is the ability to federated storage across multiple clouds and how do you do it seamlessly within the framework of googan IDs as opposed to trying to create a hack or a one-off that some vendors attempted to do so we try to take a very holistic view of it and make sure I mean the industry we are in it's time to drive volumes and volumes drive standards so I think we play very very close I think one of the biggest things that I'm seeing in this entire conference to date has been almost a mind shift change I mean this is conferences called Google Next and for a long time that's been one of their biggest problems they're focusing on what's next rather than what is today and they're inventing the future - almost at the expense of the present I think the big messaging today was both about reassuring enterprises that they're serious about this and also building a narrative where they're now talking about coming at this from a position of being able to embrace customers where they are and speak their language I think that that's transformative for Google and it's something I don't think that we've seen them do seriously at least not for very long I think that there's no question that this is a data game and we said early on John and the cube that big data war was going to be one in the cloud the data was going to reside in the cloud and having now machine intelligence applied to that data is what's giving companies competitive advantage and scale and economics I was struck by the stats that Google gave at the beginning of the keynote today Google in the last three years has spent 47 billion dollars on capital expenditures this year to date alone they've spent 13 billion dollars in capex and data centers 13 billion it would take IBM three and a half years to spend that much in capex it would take Oracle six years so from an economic standpoint in a scale standpoint Google Microsoft and Amazon are gonna win that game there's no question in my mind I am a student of AI I did my masters and PhD in that and I went through that change in my career because we had to collect the data match it and now analyze it and actually make a decision about it and we had a lot of false positives in some cases know something of which you don't want that either and what happened is our modeling capabilities became much better and we with this rich data and you actually tap into that data like you can go in there the data is there and disparate data we can pull in data from different sources and actually remove the outliers and make our decision real time right there we didn't have the processing capability we didn't have a place like pops up where global can scan and bring in data at hundreds of gigabytes of data that's messaging that you want to deal with at scale no matter where it is and process that that wasn't available for us now it's a real it's like a candy shop for technologists all the technologies in our hands and we want all these things so if you look at that category of that repetitive work AI can play a really amazing role in helping alleviate that mundane repetitive work and so you know great example of that as smart composed which hopefully you've used yep and so what we look at is things like say a salutation in an email where you have to think about who are you addressing how do you want to address them how do you spell their name we can alleviate that and make your composition much faster so the exciting announcement that we had today was that we are leveraging the Google assistant so the assistant that you're used to using at home via your home devices or on your phone and we're connecting that to your Google Calendar and so you'll be able to ask your assistant what you have on your schedule you know know what's ahead of you during your day and be able to do that on the go so you know I think in general one of the unique opportunities that we have with G suite is not only AI for taking these products that consumers know in love and bringing them into the enterprise and so we see that that helps people adopt and understand the products if it also just brings that like consumer grade simplicity and elegance in the design into the enterprise which brings joy to the workplace yeah so we've been working we've been hard at work over the last eight months since our last next can you believe that it's only been eight months and we last last year we were here announcing gk on prem this year we've rebranded CSP to anthos and enlarged it and we've moved it to GA so that's the big announcements in our spotlight we actually walk through all the pieces and gave three live demos as well as had two customers on stage and really the big difference in the eight months is while we're moving to GA now we've been working throughout this time with a set of customers we saw unprecedented demand for what we announced last year and we've had that privilege of working with customers to build a product which is what's unique really yeah and so we had two of those folks up on stage talking about the transformation that anthos is creating in their companies yeah absolutely I think particularly most of the larger enterprise accounts tend to have a multi vendor strategy for almost every category right including cloud which typically is one of the largest pens and you know it's it's typically what we see is people looking at certain classes or workloads running on particular clouds so it may be transactional systems running on AWS you know a lot of their more traditional enterprise workloads that were running on Windows servers potentially running on this year we see a lot of interest in data intensive sorts of analytics workloads potentially running on GCP and so I think larger companies tend to kind of look at it in terms of what's the best platform for the use case that they have in mind but in general you know I they are looking at multiple cloud vendors [Music] you
