Google Cloud, Splunk partner to help customers gain 'deeper insights' from data - iTWire

Posted: 06 May 2020 03:44 AM PDT

Google Cloud and data-to-everything platform provider Splunk have sealed a new strategic partnership they say will to help organisations drive actionable insights from their data and enable fast decisions with real-time visibility across the enterprise.

The two companies say they intend to tightly integrate Splunk Cloud across Google Cloud, including plans to roll out new native integrations with Google Cloud Security Command Center, Anthos and Google Cloud's operations suite - enabling new and existing customers to share critical data between applications and draw insights from holistic sets of data extracted from their hybrid, multi-cloud environments.

"Splunk helps companies bring data to every question, decision and action for both on-premises and cloud digitisation journeys at incredible speed and great scale," said Doug Merritt, President and CEO, Splunk.

"We chose to partner with Google Cloud to deliver the technology, capabilities and trusted infrastructure required to help businesses connect all forms of data. Splunk's partnership with Google Cloud will help empower even more customers to harness nearly limitless data opportunities across IT, Security and Application Development while remaining agile and cost effective."

"Data is at the center of every business' digital transformation and we are proud to partner with Splunk to help organisations build data-driven, cloud-native strategies," said Thomas Kurian, CEO at Google Cloud. "Businesses can now leverage Splunk's capabilities in data analytics for IT, security, user behaviour and more, on Google Cloud's trusted and secure infrastructure."

Splunk Cloud on Google Cloud is currently in beta for early access customers, with general availability coming soon.

Zoom has been under the scanner for security concerns for months now but its rising popularity has pushed other video conferencing platforms including Google to improve their product. Google's video conference platform is now called Google Meet which has also received some good amount of traction amid the lockdown. Google has been working tirelessly to deliver a  seamless user experience. With that in mind, Google recently announced that everyone will be able to use Google Meet for free until September 30.

Although Google Meet and Zoom are competitors now, a report coming from The Information states that Zoom was once so popular inside Google that the Cloud engineers considered acquiring it. That was in the year of 2018.

The report notes that "several thousand" Google employees were using Zoom at the time, instead of Google's own Hangouts Meet, which is now known as Google Meet. According to the publication, discussions of acquisition went as far as evaluating the price and calculating the cost of running Zoom on Google's servers.

Zoom was "one of several" companies that Google Cloud engineers evaluated in this way, the report states. A Google Cloud spokesperson reveals to the publication that Google "never seriously evaluated acquiring Zoom".

Amid the COVID-19 lockdown, people are relying a lot on video conferencing platforms and that proved to be a boon for Zoom. However, since the platform faced a flurry of privacy and security issues, the Indian government cautioned against using Zoom and established that the app will not be used by the government officials. The government also announced an "Innovative Challenge for Development of Video Conferencing Solution" to build India's Zoom rival.

Google is also highlighting the security features of its Google Meet to showcase its product as a competitor to Zoom. Last month, Google banned the Zoom app from its employees' laptops citing "security vulnerabilities" as the reason and lit a fire under Google to improve its own video chat product Google Meet.

HPAPI Drug Manufacturing Trends - Contract Pharma

Highly potent API (HPAPI) drugs make up a growing percentage of the small molecule drug development pipeline and this group of products is growing faster than the overall small molecule segment, 1 largely due to their usefulness in cancer treatments. Many of these drugs have accelerated timelines for approval and commercial development, which can be challenging for drug developers to keep up with. On the front-end, new technologies such as in-silico prediction tools contribute to shortening candidate selection, 2 while Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already brought a first candidate into clinical development. 3 On the back-end, regulatory drug approval timelines are being increasingly shortened: when analyzing drug approvals in 2019, almost three-quarters of drugs approved (71%) were approved under Priority Review. 4 A related trend is increasing competition in the oncology field, with 80% of new IND’s now belonging to small, emerging or virtual biotech companies. 5 These firms o...
