Google on the 2nd day of their annual developer conference announce the availability of the so called Compute Engine to businesses around the world.
Google’s Compute Engine will allow different businesses around the world to run their Linux based applications in virtual environment on Google’s own datacentres at a nominal price. These will be the same datacentres that power Google and its different products.
According to Google, if businesses decide to go with their Compute Engine than they can get up to 50% of extra computing power as compared to their leading competitor’s.
One of the leading competitor to Google’s compute engine is Amazon’s Web Services which is already in service for more than 10 years. Google opened their data centres for developers in 2008 when they have allowed developers to use their servers to analyse and test applications.
