Google update addresses a critical security and connectivity gap for organizations in highly regulated industries.
Google has announced the general availability of its Gemini artificial intelligence models on Google Distributed Cloud (GDC), making its generative AI product available on enterprise and government data centers.
GDC is an on-premises implementation of Google Cloud, aimed at heavily regulated industries like medical and financial services to bring Google Cloud services within company firewalls rather than the public cloud. The launch of Gemini on GDC allows organizations with strict data residency and compliance requirements to deploy generative AI without compromising control over sensitive information.
GDC uses Nvidia Hopper and Blackwell 0era GPU accelerators with automated load balancing and zero-touch updates for high availability. Security features include audit logging and access control capabilities that provide full transparency for customers. The platform also features Confidential Computing support for both CPUs (with Intel TDX) and GPUs (with Nvidia’s confidential computing) to secure sensitive data and prevent tampering or exfiltration.
The Gemini models offer capabilities such as content processing and native multimodal understanding of text, images, audio, and video. Google says that opens a range of use cases, including multilingual and foreign collaboration, automated document summarization, intelligent chatbots and AI-assisted code generation.
Google Gemini for GDC is available now.
