Security News > 2024 > April > Google Cloud Next 2024: New Data Center Chip and Chrome Enterprise Premium Join the Ecosystem

Google Cloud announced a new enterprise subscription for Chrome and a bevy of generative AI add-ons for Google Workspace during the Cloud Next '24 conference, held in Las Vegas from April 9 - 11.

Overall, Google Cloud is putting its Gemini generative AI in place as much as it can; for instance, the company is betting on providing Vertex AI infrastructure for other companies' AI and hardware like the new Axion CPU. We attended a pre-briefing for an early look at the new features and tools, including a generative AI video service for marketing and internal communications use.

Axion is Google's first Arm-based CPU. Some Google Cloud services, such as BigQuery, will soon run on Google Axion Processors, Google's first custom Arm-based CPU for data centers.

Instances on Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Dataproc, Dataflow, Cloud Batch and more will be available later in 2024.

Google announced a lot of changes coming to the Data Cloud portfolio in databases and data analytics.

In generative AI ecosystem and enterprise support in particular, it competes and often interoperates with Microsoft's Copilot AI, AWS, IBM, and SAP. The Axion chip in particular could help Google push into the data center chip space dominated by Amazon and NVIDIA. TechRepublic is covering Google Cloud Next '24 remotely.
