PA Consulting Group Joins Google Cloud Platform Partner Program
LONDON, July 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
PA Consulting Group has this week joined the Google Cloud Platform Partner Program
[http://googleenterprise.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/introducing-google-cloud-platform.html ]
as a Services Partner. PA uses cloud-based services to help organisations create
innovative, cost-effective and scalable IT solutions, from concept development to design
and delivery.
"The Google Cloud Platform Partner Program enables us to help our clients develop new
cloud-based solutions that drive their success across the range of sectors, public and
private, in which we provide support by building on power of the Google Cloud Platform,"
says Dan Rossner, cloud expert, PA Consulting Group. "The Google Cloud Platform offers a
broad set of application development, cloud storage, large scale computing and big data
capabilities that provides our clients with an enhanced technical ability to meet the
demands of fast-moving business."
"Using Google App Engine has allowed us to benefit from instant scalability and easier
website development," said Adrian Shand, Project Manager for the UK Met Office social
weather website (wow.metoffice.gov.uk). "Thanks to the scalability, we haven't had
anything to worry about as the site has grown in use."
Dan continues: "Using Google's technology we have already achieved results that would
have seemed unthinkable only a few years ago. With the permission of the NHS, for example,
we used Google's Big Query platform to upload and interrogate anonymous patient data
approaching a billion units. Previously it would have taken hours or days to run a query
on a resource of this scale - using Big Query we could do it in a few seconds. On a
separate project, we used the Google App Engine to create the social weather website for
the Met Office wow.metoffice.gov.uk. The scalable, elastic nature of this platform has
given enthusiasts in around 150 countries worldwide the chance to share, in real-time,
more than 40 million readings online."
