Google Cloud late this year stepped up its edge computing charge with a plan to deliver more than 200 partner applications at the edge, from 30-plus launch partners, on Google Cloud. “By partnering with these Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), we’re enabling the rapid delivery and deployment of new vertical services and applications, leveraging Google Cloud core components, including Anthos, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML), as well as Google’s global edge network and our telecom partners’ networks,” said Amol Phadke, managing director for Telecom Industry Solutions at Google Cloud in a blog post.

Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, meanwhile, recently said that the cloud powerhouse is working with NetApp to provide expanded solutions around virtual desktops.
