Vodafone and Google Cloud today announced a new, six-year strategic partnership to drive the use of reliable and secure data analytics, insights, and learnings to support the introduction of new digital products and services for Vodafone customers simultaneously worldwide.

In a significant expansion of their existing agreement, Vodafone and Google Cloud will jointly build a powerful new integrated data platform with the added capability of processing and moving huge volumes of data globally from multiple systems into the cloud. 

Capable of processing around 50 terabytes of data per day, equivalent to 25,000 hours of HD film (and growing), both Nucleus and Dynamo, which are industry firsts, are being built in-house by Vodafone and Google Cloud specialist teams. Up to 1,000 employees of both companies located in Spain, the UK, and the United States are collaborating on the project. 

Some items that strike me as particularly important about this announcement include:

  • Google continues to move ahead in vertical industry alignment - in this case Telco industry around DP and platforms 
  • There is some amazing innovation happening to process 50TB/day throughput and for sure others will follow the lead 
  • There is a massive amount of investment (1000 employees jointly across many countries) so is this a sign of global company collaboration to come? 

Interested to hear your thoughts on this announcement and if you wish for us here at C2C to drill down on any of these topics, via additional blog postings or even future web sessions.  Let us know!
