More than 200 million Evernote users now more securely store billions of notes and attachments—the equivalent of roughly 10 copies of every modern book ever published. The company’s private cloud was no longer enough to scale to support such a dynamic infrastructure, so Evernote migrated its service to Google Cloud Platform and closed its data center, allowing employees to focus on product innovation instead of maintenance.
Evernote moved 5 billion notes and 12 billion attachment files to Google Cloud Platform, an endeavor that was expected to take 9-12 months. Evernote used the Google Professional Services team to guide it through solution planning, architecting, and migrating 3.5PB of data in only 70 days, and with minimal customer impact.
Customers benefit from the data processing power of Google Cloud Platform and are enjoying noticeable performance boosts. And because Google Cloud Platform encrypts customer data stored at rest by default, Evernote offers increased security, giving customers peace of mind that their data is safe.
And rather than pouring resources into day-to-day infrastructure maintenance and monitoring, Evernote’s employees can now focus more time and energy into developing new features and responding to customer needs.

The partnership between Google Cloud and SAP is entering a new chapter. Over the years, our close partnership with SAP and our mutual dedication to customers has inspired us to do some of our most unique and innovative work—such as building Fast Restart and Memory Poisoning Recovery capabilities for S/4HANA workloads, offering real-time access to our advanced machine learning (ML) capabilities, and developing integrations with the industry’s best cloud security and network infrastructure.
With an expanded, strategic partnership, we are capitalizing on one of the cloud’s most valuable benefits: enabling customer choice without driving up cost or complexity. Customers have shared that they appreciate what Google Cloud has done over the years to support their ability to choose—from our support for multi-cloud environments to our track record with open-source technologies like Kubernetes, to name a couple of examples.
“We chose Google Cloud to support our SAP implementation. Our decision had a lot to do with the relationship between Google Cloud and SAP and also for the applications and services that are offered by Google Cloud, like BigQuery, which are helping to enable data and analytics within our organization.”— Sam Moses, Vice President of Corporate Systems, The Home Depot
Now, we’re placing this same emphasis on customer choice, flexibility, and freedom to help SAP customers get greater ROI from their cloud investments in three ways:
- Execute seamless business transformations that deliver all of the benefits of modern, cloud-native applications and services—quickly, economically, and without disrupting day-to-day operations
- Migrate critical business systems to the cloud, in order to lock in OpEx savings and refocus their IT teams on strategic business technology initiatives
- Augment existing business systems with cloud capabilities in AI, ML, and analytics
The cornerstone of our expanded partnership is the RISE with SAP program—a comprehensive set of tools, technology, and expert support for a fast, predictable, cost-effective path to business transformation with SAP in the cloud. RISE is also designed to meet every SAP customer on their own terms, whether they’re undertaking an enterprise-wide cloud migration or pursuing an incremental or hybrid-cloud approach.
To support customers taking advantage of RISE with SAP, Google Cloud will work even more closely with SAP to accelerate customers’ cloud migrations and business process modernization across several key areas. This includes ensuring global availability of multiple SAP services and products—such as SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP HANA Cloud—on Google Cloud’s reliable, scalable infrastructure and high-speed network. Google Cloud is also committed to bringing SAP’s solution for RPA in manufacturing to the Google Cloud Marketplace to support business process modernization.
Additionally, integrating our AI, ML, and analytics capabilities with key SAP solutions will help companies augment their business systems with sophisticated capabilities and technologies so they can draw more value out of the data stored with them.
“We can deliver our 160 key business insights two or three orders of magnitude faster with BigQuery. When you think about our marketing campaigns and month-end finance processes, we’re talking about jobs that used to take five to eight hours to complete that are now running in seconds.”— Dan Semmens, Head of Data and AI, ATB Financial

The Inside Story of How Home Depot Migrated to Google BigQuery From an On-prem DW Solution
In the media, you will often hear story of how born-in-the-cloud companies manage with massive infrastructure.
But it is one thing is to be a startup, and build infrastructure with bespoke requirements. And quite another to have a complex, multinational organization with online, with mobile, with brick-and-mortar presence, and hundreds of thousands of SKUs and professional services, and many, many years of technology, innovation, and really smart engineers.
This is the second story. The story of how The Home Depot, the number-one home improvement retailer in the US pulled of that feat.
The Home Depot has over 2,200 stores, over 4 lakh associates, and 2017 revenues of over a $100 billion.
In this video, Rick Ramaker, technology director, data analytics at The Home Depot, and Kevin Scholz, distinguished engineer, The Home Depot, talk about how the company transformed and modernised its data warehousing, the challenges they faced and the benefits they accrued from the project.
It’s a fascinating watch!
IDC: Firms Should Migrate VM-based Enterprise Workloads to Google Cloud for Optimal Price, Performance, and Security

Public cloud platforms provide the scale, elasticity, and operational efficiency that enable enterprises to both innovate and deliver more products and services to the market faster. This increased ability to innovate provides enterprises a competitive advantage and the businesses agility to stay ahead of their competition. Enterprises should leverage the business agility that public cloud infrastructure enables to their strategic advantage. Thus incorporating a cloud platform is an inherent part of their initiatives to modernize their IT infrastructure.
Enterprise cloud adoption is not without challenges. Enterprises cite a lack of skill set, decision fatigue, operational challenges, security concerns, and unpredictable TCO as significant inhibitors to adopting a public cloud service provider. Information technology decision makers (ITDMs) are caught between the need to innovate faster and the fear of instability and mismatched expectations. This dilemma is why enterprises that partner with a trusted service provider before, during, and after migration are more likely to succeed in their cloud journey.
Google Cloud is an ideal platform for virtual machine (VM)–based applications due to its key technical capabilities, such as high-performing virtual machines, including compute-optimized and memory-optimized VMs; custom sizes for virtual machines; high-performance network infrastructure for faster data transfers; and data protection capabilities.
Download this IDC report to understand why ITDMs should consider Google Cloud as the preferred cloud services partner — owing to Google Cloud being a reliable platform for VM-based applications; a trusted partner before, during, and after application migration; and an innovator to future proof the enterprise IT infrastructure.
