Google Cloud delivers the easiest platform to use and start getting value immediately,\u201d Mabanga says.<\/p>\n<p>He says key advantages of a data cloud with Google Cloud include ease of use, dramatically reduced time to insights, and that it delivers petabyte scale data warehousing as a service with no infrastructure to manage.<\/p>\n<p>Security and compliance are also assured, with tools
