Google Cloud Platform is now part of the Level 3® Cloud Connect Solutions ecosystem. Level 3 and Google are working together to define new and better ways for organizations to connect to Google’s Cloud services. Google Cloud Platform enables developers and enterprises to build, test and deploy applications on Google’s highly-scalable and reliable infrastructure.
In my opinion, acquiring Level 3 makes perfect sense for Google. The company is going to have to invest billions in infrastructure anyways, might as well take care of the fiber optic part of the expansion while also gaining assets to enter more communication-related industries later down the road.
