Google Cloud Next 2024: New Data Center Chip Joins 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.
Here's a rundown of what we consider the most impactful enterprise news from Google Cloud Next.
Google is contributing with Chrome Enterprise Premium.
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.
Google Cloud said Axion shows 50% better performance than comparable current-generation x86-based virtual machines.
Instances on Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Dataproc, Dataflow, Cloud Batch and more will be available later in 2024.
Starting April 9, models trained in Vertex AI will be grounded in Google Search.
More Google news & tips An abundance of AI additions for Google security products.
Gemini AI will now be available in Google Security Operations and Threat Intelligence.
Create video with AI and more in new Google Workspace offerings.
Google unveiled a new Workspace platform called Google Vids, with which generative AI can help employees create promotional or informative videos.
Google Vids will be an entirely new platform that will live alongside Docs Sheets, and Slides.
Google Gemini is coming to Chat and Docs for creating cover images.
Google announced a lot of changes coming to the Data Cloud portfolio in databases and data analytics.

Google continues to expand Gemini's integrations and capabilities - in preview today are Gemini in Looker and Gemini in BigQuery.
Google Cloud will be working with NVIDIA hardware to power Google's AI training infrastructure.
Dynamic Workload Scheduler, a service for managing resources on Google Cloud to optimize AI workloads according to computing capacity, is now in preview.
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.
