Description

Compute Engine (IaaS), a platform from Google that allows organizations to create and manage cloud-based virtual machines, is an infrastructure as a services (IaaS). Computing infrastructure in predefined sizes or custom machine shapes to accelerate cloud transformation. General purpose machines (E2, N1,N2,N2D) offer a good compromise between price and performance. Compute optimized machines (C2) offer high-end performance vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) systems offer the highest amount of memory and are ideal for in-memory database applications. Accelerator optimized machines (A2) are based on A100 GPUs, and are designed for high-demanding applications. Integrate Compute services with other Google Cloud Services, such as AI/ML or data analytics. Reservations can help you ensure that your applications will have the capacity needed as they scale. You can save money by running Compute using the sustained-use discount, and you can even save more when you use the committed-use discount.

Description

Most teams think of V2 Cloud as a DaaS provider, but the platform covers far more than virtual desktops. It gives businesses one managed cloud environment for everything their people use to work: Windows and Linux workstations, line-of-business software, files, databases, and any type of server. Users connect securely from wherever they are, and IT keeps full control from a single place. Legacy VDI typically demands dedicated specialists, complex infrastructure, and long rollout timelines. V2 Cloud takes the opposite approach. Environments go live in minutes, the day-to-day infrastructure work is handled for you, and there's no on-premise hardware to buy or maintain. That makes it easier to consolidate resources, tighten security, and support staff who work remotely, in hybrid setups, at branch locations, or across different countries. For heavier workloads such as engineering, design, or AI, GPU-powered virtual machines deliver the performance those applications need. Security controls come built in, and a multilingual support team is available around the clock whenever questions come up. Discover how straightforward and cost-effective cloud computing can be, and start with V2 Cloud today.
