IT'S HAPPENING! Elon Musk's SpaceX and Google INTRODUCE Partnership!

Описание: IT'S HAPPENING! Elon Musk's SpaceX and Google INTRODUCE Partnership!
This new partnership will see SpaceX set up ground stations at the tech giant's data centers around the world, enabling the secure, low-latency, and reliable delivery of data from 1,550 Starlink satellites in orbit via Google Cloud. But what does the deal mean for both Elon Musk and Google? Let’s find out.

Huge thanks to all these amazing SpaceX Artists. Please follow them and support them through Payoneer and Twitter.

Starlink, the satellite internet constellation launched by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, will connect with Google’s cloud infrastructure, enabling the satellite broadband network to deliver low-latency applications, data, and other cloud services to network edge deployments.

To date, SpaceX has launched more than 1,600 Starlink satellites into low-earth orbit, including 52 last Mai. Once deployed, they appear as a train of lights in the night sky. SpaceX pitches the satellite internet service as delivering “point-to-point communications from anywhere on Earth.” The cloud infrastructure deals with Google and Microsoft illustrate the long-term goal of tapping the lucrative enterprise edge market.

Google said that SpaceX will locate Starlink ground stations within its data centers to deliver applications to the network edge, relayed by its growing satellite constellation. The collaboration combines Google’s private cloud network with a satellite network service eventually aimed at corporate users, including those beyond the reach of terrestrial connections.

The Starlink-Google Cloud capabilities, which include secure data delivery to remote areas of the world, will be available to customers by the end of 2021, Google said in a press release recently. SpaceX will install the first Starlink terminal at Google’s New Albany, Ohio data center, a spokesman said, adding more plans on the partnership will be shared in the coming months.

Overall, the deal is a natural alliance for Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Google — which in 2015 invested US$900 million into the space company to cover an array of technology, including Starlink satellite manufacturing. Among the goals of the cloud and satellite partnership is penetrating the market for high-volume enterprise customers, a segment where Google has attempted to differentiate itself from dominant players AWS and Microsoft Azure.

Amazon popularized the public cloud business with the launch in 2006 of general-purpose computing and storage tools from its Amazon Web Services division. Google introduced its own computing service in 2012. But over the last two decades, Google has also spent money assembling a private fiber-optic network to connect its data centers, Koley, Google's head of global networking, said.

While much of Google's cloud growth has come from taking care of computing and storage needs for clients such as Goldman Sachs and Snap, the SpaceX deal will draw heavily on Google's networking capabilities.

Given the rocket rivalry between SpaceX founder Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, who turned over the reins at Amazon.com to focus on his Blue Origin space venture, Musk’s decision to go with Google’s cloud makes sense. The Starlink beta program that began last year has at least 10,000 users across the US, Canada, and a few European countries, with at least 500,000 deposits of $100 placed by potential customers of the service.

Cloud providers have increasingly focused on the telecommunications industry, particularly with the ascent of 5G connectivity. For example, Amazon said Dish would use AWS infrastructure to deliver 5G service to consumers.

In SpaceX's case, there is no need for cell towers. Instead, customers' devices will communicate to satellites, and then the satellites will link up to Google data centers.
