High-speed connectivity to the network edge is growing. As it does, organizations with presences at the edge have opportunities to apply digital technologies and cloud capabilities that can streamline business processes, create exciting new experiences for consumers, uncover insights from data at the edge, and more.

Late last year, we announced a new initiative to bring partner solutions to the network edge. We were delighted with the response—at launch, more than 30 partners joined to deliver more than 200 solutions to the edge on Google Cloud. Today, our partners are supporting customers in industries like retail, media and entertainment, and manufacturing with solutions to manage data from connected machines on shop floors, deliver new digital retail experiences for shoppers, manage fleets of connected vehicles, and support many other use cases.

Today, we’re delighted to expand this initiative, adding support for solutions from more than 20 additional partners. These solutions span use cases like video analytics and smart surveillance, edge data storage infrastructure, artificial intelligence, as well as network management and control.

By bringing these solutions to Google Cloud, our partners are enabling the rapid delivery and deployment of new services and capabilities at the edge, which can leverage Google Cloud services and capabilities including Anthos, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and data analytics. Anthos will act as a consistent platform to deliver these solutions to the network edge, leveraging Google’s edge network as well as high-speed 5G connectivity from leading CSPs that are working with us to build this unique ecosystem.
