Google named a Leader in 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SCPS

Gartner has recognized Google as a Leader in Strategic Cloud Platform Services for the ninth consecutive year, citing its Completeness of Vision. Google Cloud's dedication to customer success in building and scaling demanding workloads is highlighted. The company emphasizes accelerating customer journeys into the agentic era with a dynamic infrastructure and a unified platform for apps, data, and agents. Three key advantages are presented: a co-designed technology stack, a dynamic infrastructure for secure scaling, and digital sovereignty offering genuine choice. Google Cloud is committed to facilitating customer innovation and scale through flexibility, performance, and control. The first design principle is accelerating AI with a co-designed, open stack from silicon to applications, featuring custom hardware like TPUs and Axion processors. This approach maximizes operational efficiency without vendor lock-in, embracing open source and standards. The second principle focuses on scaling quickly and economically with a dynamic infrastructure that automates capacity management and modernizes applications. This enables organizations to securely connect data, apps, and agents for optimized global experiences. The third principle champions digital sovereignty, allowing organizations to retain data control and comply with regulations through flexible deployment options. These options include data sovereignty with boundary controls, local compliance via partner-operated clouds, and on-premises flexibility with Google Distributed Cloud.
