Extensive Fiber Network
Google owns or has a dedicated lease on over 100,000 kilometers of fiber that can deliver 4 times the bandwidth of the entire internet in use today. And offers an industry-leading SLA of 99.99% on cloud connectivity with redundant interconnects.
Premium Networking
Google is the only hyperscaler that provides a premium networking tier by default to keep its customers’ internet traffic on its highly reliable network until it is as close as possible to the end consumer.
Global VPCs
Google supports global VPCs, which are private customer networks that span multiple regions allowing its customers to communicate using internal addresses between their infrastructure, no matter where it is, without the need to deploy separate devices for connectivity or separate services such as load balancers, routers and firewall rules at each location. These capabilities significantly reduce points of exposure and simplify disaster recovery solutions when deploying SAP environments on Google Cloud.
Global Reach
GCP is present in over 200 countries and territories and has 39 cloud regions operating today. Google is working to ensure that the SAP certified shapes its customers need are available in every region where they need them and when they need them, enabling customers to extend into more regions with our continued global expansion.
Independent Verification
Our customers expect from Google to meet stringent data, security, and privacy controls. That’s why Google's regions and products regularly undergo independent verification of compliance, which means that an independent auditor has examined the controls present in Google's data centers, infrastructure and operations to help you meet your regulatory and policy objectives. These certifications include the most widely recognized, internationally accepted security standards, including GDPR with EU model contact clauses, TISAX and Privacy Shield. Find details on our full set of compliance offerings, like ISO/IEC 27001/27017/27018/27701, SOC 1/2/3, PCI DSS, VPAT (WCAG, U.S. Section 508, EN 301 549) and FedRAMP certifications, and alignment with HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA, among others, in Google’s compliance resource center.
Secure Infrastructure
Take advantage of the same secure-by-design infrastructure and built-in protection that Google uses to protect your information, identities, applications, and devices. Google’s stack builds security through progressive layers that deliver true defence in depth at scale.
Data Encryption
At Google the data is automatically encrypted in transit and at rest by default ensuring that it can only be accessed by authorized roles and services with audited access to the encryption keys. And most importantly, Google never has access to customer data because we never have access to the encryption keys regardless of how they are managed.
Privacy Commitments
Protecting the privacy of Google Cloud and Google Workspace customers is a priority and codified in Google's Enterprise Privacy Commitments, which guide the security and privacy practices. Learn more about how Google protects privacy and keeps you in control in our privacy resource center.
