What customers are saying

“Google Cloud Platform already works seamlessly with our on-premise infrastructure, allowing us to meet increased compute demands. Now, with the LA cloud region, it’s like having a render farm at our doorstep.”
- Steve Kowalski, Vice President of Systems Engineering, Sony Pictures Imageworks

“Using Google Cloud for visual effects rendering gives us the scalability and flexibility we need to turn around jobs in a fraction of the time that it used to. We look forward to using the LA cloud region for even faster speed. Our artists can work efficiently and effectively to truly innovate and evolve the story, art, and technology of the moving image.”
- Saker Klippsten, Chief Technology Officer, Zoic Studios

“Google Cloud makes the City of Los Angeles run more smoothly and efficiently to better serve Angelenos city-wide. We are very excited to have a cloud region of our own that enables businesses, big or small, to leverage the latest cloud technology and foster innovation.”
- Ted Ross, General Manager and Chief Information Officer for City of LA Information Technology Agency, City of LA

“Using Google Cloud for visual effects rendering enables our team to be fast, flexible and to work on multiple large projects simultaneously without fear of resource starvation. Cloud is at the heart of our IT strategy and Google provides us with the rendering power to create Oscar-winning graphics in post-production work.”
- Steve MacPherson, Chief Technology Officer, Framestore

“A lot of our short form projects pop up unexpectedly, so having extra capacity in region can help us quickly capitalize on these opportunities. The extra speed the LA region gives us will help us free up our artists to do more creative work. We’re also expanding internationally, and hiring more artists abroad, and we’ve found that Google Cloud has the best combination of global reach, high performance and cost to help us achieve our ambitions.”
- Tom Taylor, Head of Engineering, The Mill What SoCal partners are saying

“Cloud and data are the new equalizers, transforming the way organizations are built, work and create value. Our premier partnership with Google Cloud Platform enables us to help our clients digitally transform through efforts like app modernization, data analytics, ML and AI. Google’s new LA cloud region will enhance the deliverability of these solutions and help us better service the LA and Orange County markets - a destination where Neudesic has chosen to place its corporate home.”
- Tim Marshall, CTO and Co-Founder, Neudesic

“Enterprises everywhere are on a journey to harness the power of cloud to accelerate business objectives, implement disruptive features, and drive down costs.

The data center will bring a whole new level of uptime and service to our Southern California team and clients.”
