Security, , , , , ,

Nov. 25, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — A multi-million-dollar contract between NATO and Google Cloud for a secure, AI-enabled sovereign cloud solution  involves the NATO Communication and Information Agency (NCIA) selecting Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped to modernise its infrastructure, specifically supporting the Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC). The purpose of using GDC air-gapped is to ensure uncompromised data residency, operational control, and high security for classified workloads, as this technology operates in completely disconnected environments. Both parties emphasise that this collaboration will significantly accelerate NATO’s digital modernisation efforts and enable the organisation to securely harness advanced AI and cloud capabilities. The Chief Technology Officer of NCIA confirmed that partnering with industry is vital for NATO’s digital transformation, allowing them to create a resilient and scalable cloud environment for highly sensitive data.

Nov. 25, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The document, titled “Accelerating enterprise data migration,” is a Google Cloud resource promoting the migration of corporate data platforms to their cloud environment, primarily using BigQuery and Vertex AI. The central argument is that legacy systems are inadequate for modern AI-driven success, while cloud migration provides substantial benefits like faster insights, cost efficiency, and AI readiness. Multiple case studies from diverse industries, including financial services (PayPal, DBS Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo), logistics (J.B. Hunt), and healthcare (Quest Diagnostics), illustrate how major companies modernised their infrastructure from systems like Teradata, Oracle Exadata, Hadoop, and Snowflake. These examples highlight key migration learnings, such as the importance of FinOps for cost control, strategic data cleanup, and full organizational alignment, demonstrating that Google Cloud offers an AI-enabled migration solution that simplifies and accelerates the transformation process.
