THE local mobile app community and ICT-based platform developers may be persuaded to turn to the Google Cloud Platform for its “hard-to-beat core advantages and features in network, storage, computing and distributed software tiers”.
Local ICT industry players and app developers, participants of ‘Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Next 2016 Extended (GCP NEXT)’, agreed that the GCP is cost-effective aside from having hard-to-beat underlying advantages.
GCP NEXT is the largest gathering of the GCP community to explore the latest developments in cloud technology.
The event was organised by the Google Developer Group (GDG) in Brunei Darussalam in collaboration with the Authority for Info-communication sTechnology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI) at the Seri Kerna Hall, AITI in Anggerek Desa.
In an interview, Agus Muslim Jaenuddin, CEO of award-winning local start-up company Newgate Plus, said the company’s soon-to-be launched blood donation app – an extensive platform that connects people to daily donation needs, activities and personal blood-related records to assist in ensuring the blood availability meets demand – is currently hosted by a reliable US-based company. After seeing the advantages of the GCP during the event, he said GCP can provide promising benefits to Newgate Plus.
