cloud campus in silicon valley where i'm here with sundar pachai and thomas curion we have an incredible lineup over the next three days with live keynotes demos and q a with our leadership and over 140 sessions covering all our cloud solutions our customers and partners will share how they're using google cloud in google workspace technology to tackle their greatest challenges and opportunities we are humbled to support their work and share their stories thank you for being here with us and now please join me in welcoming google and alphabet ceo sundar pachai hi everyone welcome to google cloud next 2021 we are happy you're here of course i'd be happier if he could actually be here in person don't get me wrong thomas is great company but he still doesn't laugh at my container jokes so while many of us are still waiting for a return to normal it does feel like we are on our way the question is will we recognize normal when we get there the pandemic has sped up digitization in all aspects of our lives it's changed how we visit a doctor how our kids learn in school and how we connect with one another and it's made the future of work our present giving us renewed opportunity to transform our organizations from our work with customers thomas and i have learned there are three things that position us to be most helpful to businesses first our cloud platform it's designed to help enterprises transform through digitization built on the deep investments we've made in technical infrastructure over the past 23 years looking at our networking and data center investments alone we have the largest network with the lowest latency of any cloud provider with our expansions into warsaw delhi melbourne and toronto this year we now have 28 regions with plans for 10 more and it's all connected by 19 subsea cables a gracehopper transatlantic cable will be the first to incorporate novel optical fiber switching second our enterprise customers benefit from our consumer scale and innovation we have a deep and broad consumer ecosystem of devices and services youtube connects a global community of viewers and creators android nest assistant and maps are loved by people around the world we have the unique ability to connect consumer ecosystems with enterprise ecosystems for example the realistic voices in language understanding that powers google assistant can improve enterprise customer experiences and increase satisfaction and the underlying visual technology that enables google lens to help people shop or learn about a new flower in their garden can help manufacturers identify defects third we offer comprehensive security that helps organizations including ours protect what matters security is foundational to everything we do we have a long history of building it into every layer of the computing environment we are a pioneer of zero trust computing and have deep experience running this model at scale on its own any one of these pillars would be helpful to customers put together they can be transformative which is the mission of google cloud we continue to drive innovation through our products over the past year we've had more than 1500 product and feature releases that's about four a day they're all designed to be helpful from smart canvas in google workspace that makes collaboration richer to new ai powered industry solutions and bigquery omni for data analytics across any cloud we've also made significant partnership announcements for example we teamed up with global telecom leaders such as ericsson nokia and t-systems to deliver 5g edge and hosted computing solutions what i'm most excited about is how our strengths in cloud consumer and security are helping top enterprises accelerate their transformation ford chose google as their transformation partner because of our strength in consumer and cloud together we are innovating in electrification connectivity and self-driving technologies ford is harnessing google maps to help drivers navigate google assistant to help drivers concentrate on google play to keep passengers learning and entertain l'oreal partnered across google to build a virtual try on experience they are harnessing the best ai models as well as using youtube to build a community of fans and google shopping to make it easy to discover and buy their products we are humble that so many organizations continue to put their trust in google cloud and we are committed to helping you solve the biggest challenges you face i'll be back a little later to talk more about how we do that but first i'll turn the stage over to thomas korean ceo of google cloud to talk more about our mission thank you sundar hello everyone it's a pleasure to be here on google's silicon valley campus today for the moment we all look forward to all year long the opportunity to connect with you our customers partners and developers and to share all the amazing exciting stuff we've been working on a special thank you to all our sponsors especially our luminary sponsors accenture otto's maven wave and deloitte let's first hear from some of our customers about the amazing ways in which they have accelerated transformation with google cloud [Music] the pandemic really did accelerate the digital wave of change by easily three to five years [Music] we transitioned to all virtual care we're better positioned to accelerate fast forward to today we have a truly profound permanent structural transformation now our team can look at hundreds of calls in minutes instead of weeks our business has really been transformed with the help of google cloud we have spikes in demand we can scale four times in less than five minutes schroedinger is transforming the way scientists are developing drugs chemical space is almost infinite we can do things we couldn't do before can't i just track my shipment we think that we can help solve that for the supply chain how can we help workers with artificial intelligence suddenly lots of ideas become interesting we're very excited to develop our artificial intelligence and machine learning access to innovation the speed of innovation seconds milliseconds all matter we're rethinking routine and pioneering simplicity the partnership with google cloud provides us with technology that will drive us to be better [Music] now it's not a secret that many of the biggest and most innovative technology companies leaders such as spotify twitter shopify mikado libre sharechat dapper labs and so many other exciting startups and tech leaders choose google cloud to help them build scale and innovate still other customers are transforming using our purpose-built industry solutions the home depot for instance use contact center ai to reduce customer resolution time by 91 million minutes procter gamble creates personalized omni-channel journeys from over 275 million consumer records ikea retail use recommendations ai to increase e-commerce click-through rates by 30 percent and increase order value by two percent f i h a foxconn company used visual inspection to identify defects 10 times more accurately mr cooper a leading mortgage services provider used document ai to process mortgage documents 400 percent more efficiently and bank of new york mellon developed a liquidity solution that predicts nearly 40 percent of security settlement failures with 90 percent accuracy we're helping many businesses drive durable innovation through long-term partnerships with google's transformation cloud now to help them transform we focus on five key themes one are we the best at understanding and using data in an industry two do we have the industry's leading technology infrastructure three are we creating the best hybrid workplace for our passionate and talented employees four do we know that our data systems and users are secure now and that they will be secure in the future and five are we working together to address the most important challenges facing our world today we help organizations address these important questions let's start with the first question are we the best at understanding and using data in an industry we help organizations unify their data across multiple clouds and silos combining structured and unstructured data and making data every employee's superpower using data analytics and ai together schrodinger accelerated clinical drug discovery by 60 percent finding new breakthroughs faster like many states around the united states the wisconsin department of workforce development confronted a wave of new unemployment claims using google's data cloud they clear over 750 000 unemployment claims reducing claim times from weeks to just days and dispersing over 2 billion in unemployment benefits walmart is transforming the experience for the approximately 220 million shoppers around the globe who visit a walmart store club or e-commerce website each week i'm honored today to welcome suresh kumar executive vice president walmart's global chief technology officer and chief development officer hi thomas and hello everyone i'm excited to be here today to share about how we at walmart are innovating on behalf of our customers our associates and the role that our partners like you google have played in our innovation journey now i came to walmart at a time of incredible digital transformation and jointly with my team created a robust execution plan to accelerate the transformation across three areas building great customer experiences optimizing our business and modernizing our platform and our infrastructure each of these three priorities are individually important but when you bring them together at the scale of a business like walmart it has a massive impact if you move with speed you can completely transform global operations and disrupt entire industries some of our most data intensive or critical decisioning process are getting the big query treatment through this not only are we seeing significant savings that will continue as we migrate more and more data over we are also seeing the ability to use the data in interesting ways including enabling analytics at scale and turning data into actionable insights from a data migration to bigquery standpoint 97 percent of the tables used for data vectors have already migrated to the cloud and 30 of the big data have been migrated with plans to almost double that by the end of this fiscal year and the cherry on the top is that bigquery has allowed us to integrate with pretty much any data visualization tool and analytics tool that's out there thereby improving our processing time by 23 percent and of course needless to say a much better user experience using bigquery has had a direct impact on our business an excellent example is our ability to close our financial books in three days instead of five days and that's a pretty big deal leveraging our cloud has enabled us to unleash the potential of ai across our entire business this goes from predicting demand to managing in-stock levels to optimizing supply chain to freeing up time for our associates to serve our customers as one example express delivery which is our two hour delivery service which we launched last year actively uses ai behind the scenes as the customer is creating that order multiple algorithms work in munition to optimize the delivery route and determine if the customer is eligible for express delivery we are building our own ai and ml capabilities to power multiple areas of our business including classification natural language processing forecasting regression computer vision predictions process automations and a whole lot more so to wrap up i'm really excited about the opportunity walmart has to drive innovation and to further disrupt the retail industry i hope you will agree that our work together is making a huge difference for our customers and our associates thank you for having me thank you suresh you know tens of thousands of incredible organizations like walmart choose google's data cloud for four reasons first google's data cloud is the most complete and unified data and ai platform to help you manage every stage of the data life cycle from running operational transactions to developing analytical applications we help customers unify data lakes and warehouses as data lake houses to reduce complexity and to combine structured and unstructured data built in data science and ai with support for mapreduce spark and presto enables continuous learning and experimentation and we support real time streaming that natively uses open source standards like beam and flink google's data cloud is also unmatched for speed scale security and reliability bigquery one of the most successful and beloved data warehouse solutions with its unique serverless approach during a typical week helps more than 3000 different organizations analyze more than 200 petabytes of data and thousands of customers use data proc to run spark and hadoop clusters easily spanner a fully managed relational database with unlimited scale and multi-zone and multi-region consistency serves more than 1 billion requests per second and provides a 5 9 sla google data cloud's vertex ai offers the ai pioneered at google research and deep mind so that every data scientist and ml engineer can now build deploy and scale ai models faster and with 80 percent less code using ai the same way google does for instance ge appliances an appliance manufacturing leader for more than a century is using google cloud including ai the edge to build innovative digital products with over-the-air updates finally google's data cloud is more open standards based you can choose from postgres mysql redis mongodb or migrate from oracle or sql server and we have strategic partners with leading data driven applications for instance c3ai has made its entire lineup of ai-based applications available on google cloud our customers can analyze govern and visualize data from many databases and storage system on google or other clouds including all of google's databases google sheets and bigquery using looker a premier bi and embedded analytics solution you know today we're thrilled and excited to announce that we'll be integrating tableau a leader in data visualization with looker google sheets and bigquery tableau customers will soon be able to use looker's semantic model enabling new levels of data governance and access to data let's take a look at this alex over to you thank you thomas in this demo we're going to show you how you can seamlessly use looker and tableau together to answer your critical business questions let's say i work at an e-commerce company in our looker model provides a consistent view across the organization for our most important business metrics here for example you can see the definition for gross margin our looker dashboard is based on that same semantic model since it provides trusted insights at a glance i can immediately see that sales are up however did i miss anything let's find out say i'm more comfortable working in spreadsheets i can now take advantage of the new integration between looker and google sheets with a couple of clicks i have access to my governed and trusted looker data in sheets and i can easily connect to my data models to understand which factors are impacting sales i'll drag and drop fields from my model into a pivot table to break out sales by category over time since it's pulling from looker i can trust that all the data definitions are consistent i can use familiar sheets formulas and formatting to get insights faster and understand how specific products are selling we see a notable downward trend month over month for activewear i want to share these findings with my marketing team who's using tableau now i can use the new tableau and looker integration to combine data for my looker data model with marketing data to build a more comprehensive view of my business next i'm going to plot sales by category and then add marketing spend to the view tableau makes it easy for me to drill down on relevant data now i can see that social marketing spend was significantly lower for activewear and this is why there's a downward trend in activewear sales i'm going to publish this result on tableau online and tag my marketing team so they can take action leveraging integrations between tableau sheets and looker allows our teams to build powerful visualizations using trusted data we can then share these visualizations throughout our organization to drive informed decisions action and impact back over to you thomas thank you alex the second questions customers ask do we have industry-leading technology infrastructure we're experiencing great momentum with our open infrastructure cloud many of the most demanding and technically advanced customers in the world disproportionately choose us take for example leading media companies and streaming services such as univision and global the largest media group in latin america they use our high performance networking computing and storage to broadcast media including live events such as the recent tokyo olympics leading telecommunications companies are also choosing google cloud reliance geo the world's second largest mobile carrier is automating its 5g network vodafone is processing over a billion network events each day at t is delivering new multi-access edge computing solutions and telus is migrating critical i t and network workloads all to google cloud you know leading data management companies including data bricks redis cockroach labs couch-based elastic influx data mariadb mongodb neo4j and single store are all growing faster on google cloud than on any other cloud and they love our storage scalability and advanced infrastructure mongodb for instance has more net new customers via google cloud marketplace than on any other cloud leading cyber security companies such as palo alto networks exuberant fy shape splunk broadcom and forgerock are also choosing google cloud for its performance global scale and underlying security customers are migrating and transforming sap and vmware workloads to google cloud in just the last year we've added three times the number of sap customers as the prior year and were exhilarating paypal for instance has an sap hana scale out system supporting 40 million business transactions daily 200 billion records touched in just 30 seconds mitel in canada migrated over 1 000 vmware virtual machines in less than 90 days to google cloud vmware engine nilas an api platform company chose our tile virtual machines along with google kubernetes engine as they saw over 40 percent better price performance than in a competitor you know customers choose our open cloud infrastructure for three main reasons first we make your path to migrate and modernize using cloud easy with migration tools new serverless and container capabilities and managed services as your developers spend more time building experiences that your customers love second we offer transformative capabilities with cutting edge performance and security and our network offers three times the throughput of other cloud providers third we remain and were the very first and only cloud provider with a clear multi-cloud strategy we provide you with a consistent developer experience built an open source to write once and deploy anywhere many customers like plaid a financial services leader use antos to deploy operate and manage applications across multiple clouds recently we introduced anthos for virtual machines standardizing the way that you manage applications across both virtual machines and containers for multi-cloud data bigquery omni lets customers analyze data across google cloud aws migrate data customers also want to expand where they use google cloud whether in their private data centers or out on the edge for instance some workloads cannot move to the public cloud entirely due to the need for large amounts of local data processing extremely low latency or strict regulations to solve these challenges we're announcing today google distributed cloud a portfolio of hardware and software solutions that extend our infrastructure to the edge and even into your own data center to tell you more about it please welcome inez from our google cloud distributed cloud team thank you thomas google distributed cloud is a set of fully managed services running on google managed hardware based on open apis and built on antos it gives customers greater deployment flexibility and ensures more consistent operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments more than any other cloud provider there are four deployment scenarios depending on your specific needs google's network edge this allows customers to leverage over 140 network edge locations around the world operator adds this scenario is designed to accommodate emerging services and applications with a stringent latency and reliability requirements for a specific operator customer ads this scenario supports customer owned edge locations such as retail stores factory floors or branch offices which require localized compute and processing and finally customer data centers this deployment option is specific to customer owned data centers and color facilities google distributed cloud also includes a hosted mode to run sensitive workloads and address data sovereignty security and privacy requirements it does not require connectivity to google cloud at any time to manage infrastructure services apis or tooling you have the choice to manage it yourself or host through a designated trusted partner back to you thomas thank you ines partners like hpe dell cisco and netapp are key as we deploy google distributed cloud globally on best-in-class hardware i'm pleased to announce the expansion of our partnership with network appliance in two important ways first netapp is our primary partner supporting google's distributed cloud storage infrastructure second for customers using google cloud vmware engine they now have preview access for netapp cloud volumes we are the only hyperscaler to provide customers with this choice deep partnerships with t-systems and tolus have also enabled us to address the evolving sovereignty requirements for cloud technology in germany and france the next question we hear is how can we provide the best environment to help employees create and innovate together especially in a hybrid workplace you know hybrid is redefining how we all work making it less about where we work but more about the quality of our experience studies estimate that more than 48 percent of employees will work remotely post covet google workspace is the best platform for hybrid work with simple powerful and secure tools to help people communicate and collaborate with one another no matter where they are we introduce smart canvas to help content creators remove friction from workflows and enable teams to stay connected outside of meetings to foster well-being and reduce video call fatigue we made communication and collaboration completely seamless for instance users can easily present and collaborate in meetings create meeting notes from their calendar present and meet directly from doc sheets or slides and collaborate directly from chat and spaces we optimize collaboration from all mobile devices to provide great experiences for frontline workers who make up 80 of the global workforce one of america's largest hospital systems common spirit health is advancing its mission during the pandemic by making its frontline doctors and nurses productive with google workspace since hybrid work has removed the notion of a physical location for work google workspace created spaces a unified digital location for work today more than 3 billion users move securely and seamlessly between mail chat audio video and now spaces and you too can choose among the over 5 300 public apps in our marketplace and you can also add thousands of private apps to enhance your workspace now i want to step aside for just a minute and tell you about a hidden secret in our portfolio products app sheet our no code platform that makes it easy for everyone not just professional developers to build amazing apps and workflows for instance property managers at carrefour properties used appsheet to build a mobile app to log track and resolve problems with headquarters replacing a multi-step manual process we're also partnering with citrix because employees sometimes need access to windows and mac os applications and desktops directly served from the cloud we're expanding our partnership with citrix today to deliver an integrated desktop as a service solution purpose built on google cloud now customers ask us do we know that our data systems and users are secure and how do we keep them secure in the future you know as more digital users access more data from more locations the risk of cyber security breaches is exhilarating by pioneering new approaches to security google keeps more people safe online than anyone else in the world take for instance jetblue it's keeping its system secure protecting the data of all its travelers and modernizing its security operations using chronicle to detect threats across petabytes of security telemetry eliminating data blind spots commence bank one of germany's largest banks is using our new certificate authority service to verify machine and workload identity improving security simplifying operations eliminating entire classes of threats secure by default drives customers to choose google cloud first we've implemented zero trust at the core of our services and our operations enabling you to trust nothing second we've built cloud scale threat detection and response allowing you to detect everything and third we know it's not just about tools we provide the advisory services you need to transform security operations we keep customers safe with beyond corp enterprise which enables zero trust access for all your users today we're expanding beyond corp to all your applications modern and legacy web and desktop and even to production environments we keep customers safe by eliminating software supply chain vulnerabilities over the past two decades we pioneered an approach to secure our own software supply chain we are now making that technology available through the salsa open source framework and as managed services on our cloud to help you secure your own software supply chain we keep customers safe by integrating chronicles threat detection capability with our security command center allowing you to respond faster to potential risks and we keep customers safe by bringing our security expertise to you with our google cyber security action team a team of our leading security experts who can help shape your security transformation from your very first implementation through responding to a major incident and engineering new solutions as needs change finally we continue to expand our security ecosystem with companies like fortinet palo alto networks tallis and so many more today i'd like to welcome a new security partner cyber reason with whom we are collaborating to deliver a new extended detection and response offering that will combine chronicles capability with cyber reasons mallops engine for faster easier threat detection and response our products our new cyber security action team and our partnerships all make the world safer from cyber threats to talk more about how we help keep each and every one of you secure and how we're addressing some of the most important challenges facing our world i'd like to invite sundar back thank you thank you thomas security is top of mind for businesses of all sizes as well as the public sector and despite the progress that has been made in cyber security large-scale breaches continue to make headlines that's why in august google announced we'll invest 10 billion dollars over the next five years to strengthen cyber security that includes expanding zero trust programs helping secure the software supply chain and enhancing open source security a new challenge is keeping collaboration secure and private as we move to hybrid work environments to help we are introducing a new work safer program it provides the highest level of security for your email meetings messaging and more and brings together google workspace with tight and security keys beyond corp and other secure technologies products and partners now every kind of organization and business can access the same security protections that make work safer at google security is an issue that affects us all and this brings us to the last question thomas posed are we addressing the most important challenges facing our world climate change is one of the most profound challenges we face it'll take all of us working together to solve it sustainability has been a core value for us for more than two decades google has been carbon neutral since 2007 and we've matched our operations with 100 renewable energy over four consecutive years last year we set out to make our third decade of climate action our biggest yet that included a bold commitment to operate on 24 7 carbon free energy across our offices and data centers by 2030 and last week we announced new ways we are helping one billion people make more sustainable choices when it comes to enterprises one of the most important sustainability choices is where to run your technology idc predicts cloud migrations over the next four years could reduce carbon emissions by over 1 billion metric tons or the equivalent of removing 200 million cars off the road for a year we are proud that google cloud is the cleanest cloud in the industry earlier this year we introduced a way for customers to choose the cleanest regions to run their workloads today we are expanding our portfolio of solutions and partnerships to help reduce your carbon footprint first we have focused on giving you greater transparency around carbon emissions data we are announcing carbon footprint a new service to measure track and report the gross carbon emissions associated with your google cloud usage having this data at your fingertips is really important and we know that many customers track sustainability data in other places that's why i'm happy to announce that google cloud emission data will integrate directly into salesforce sustainability cloud we also want to give you the tools to act on the data so today we are introducing a new tool that will alert you when you have idle workloads and make recommendations to reduce carbon emissions it's all part of our goal to help make your cloud transformation secure and sustainable and solve for what's next so on behalf of thomas and myself let me thank you once again for trusting us to be a partner with you on this journey and we hope you enjoy the next three days thank you [Music] you
