G
oogle Cloud’s Simon Aldous shares a roundup of new and expanded partnerships.
Please could you explain more about the growth of Google Cloud’s ecosystem and the new partnerships that were launched? like Crowdstrike, MongoDB, T-Systems, VMware? In the last year, we’ve grown our ecosystem with announcements about new integrations, services and solutions provided by technology leaders across a variety of industries. We’ve also expanded our work with existing partners such as
Crowdstrike, MongoDB, T-Systems and VMware. Trough these expanded collaborations, we support our partners in a number of ways, including advancing their digital transformation journeys, providing layered defence for enterprise cloud workloads, accelerating application modernisation, building sovereign cloud solutions, all with the intention to help our customers succeed. For example, in our last expanded partnership launch with
T-Systems in September we announced the development of a next-generation sovereign cloud solution and infrastructure. Tis means local customers, including German enterprises, the public sector and healthcare organisations, can host their sensitive workloads on a sovereign cloud.
Please could you explain more about the new and expanded partnerships? In the last year, we’ve expanded exponentially by launching new partnerships with technology leaders in every industry, from financial services to retail, to manufacturing and the public sector. During this year’s Google Cloud Next, we announced more
than twenty new and expanded partnerships with technology leaders across five strategic focus areas. Tese include unifying

data, extending open and scalable infrastructure, empowering distributed teams, enabling best-in-class security and championing sustainability. Tese focus areas showcase the new integrations, services and
solutions that play a critical role in helping our customers thrive. Google Cloud continues to be a partner-first business and
demonstrates our commitment to working with partners across all product areas and industries. We want to ensure that we’re providing customers with choice and also involving partners in 100 per cent of our customer engagements.
Please could you explain how organisations will be able to combine Cloud Dataproc on Google Cloud with Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud? We’ve partnered closely with Collibra to enable customers to apply Collibra’s data governance and policy management capabilities to data in BigQuery alongside Apache Spark with Dataproc. Specifically, the Collibra partnership is about the new Collibra
Data Quality product on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It integrates with Dataproc, which is a key component of data ingestion. According to MIT and HBR, 25% of revenue is lost due to bad
data, and 47% of recently created data records have at least one critical error. Trough Collibra’s data quality features like auto- discovered and adaptive data quality rules, proactive monitoring and anomaly detection, data reconciliation and masking, GCP customers can now enjoy the additional flexibility of ingesting high quality data to Dataproc for running highly scalable and fully managed open source frameworks. Tese include Apache Spark, Flink and Presto, for data lake modernisation, ETL, and secure data science workloads.
