Google's New Air-Gapped Cloud Solution for Extreme Conditions
Google has introduced a game-changing addition to its cloud portfolio - the Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped appliance, designed specifically for use in extreme conditions like disaster zones and remote research stations.
Stay Connected in the Most Remote Locations
The air-gapped appliance offers customers the ability to continue using Google Cloud applications and AI solutions even in the absence of a traditional Internet connection. Its design ensures full isolation, guarding against outages by operating disconnected from the Google Cloud and public internet.
Unmatched Security and Compliance
With security as a top priority, the air-gapped appliance includes encryption, data isolation, firewalls, and secure boot features. It also boasts Department of Defense Impact Level 5 accreditation and is pursuing higher security accreditations. Practicality hasn't been overlooked either - at 100 lbs and with the option of rugged casing or rack mounting, this solution is both secure and portable.
Versatile Applications with Robust Features
This new offering is ideal for use cases such as disaster response, industrial automation, and transportation. Users benefit from infrastructure-as-a-service features blended with Google Cloud services for a seamless experience.
Michael Roquemore, an early adopter from the Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office, praised the appliance for its ability to "bring digital innovation to Service Members wherever they operate."
For those interested in this cutting-edge solution, the Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped appliance is available now, with detailed specifications provided on Google's website.
