Google has recently made its Gemini artificial intelligence models available on its Google Distributed Cloud (GDC), enabling enterprises and government bodies to utilize generative AI in their own data centers. This move addresses critical security and connectivity issues faced by organizations in highly regulated sectors, such as medical and financial services.
GDC operates as an on-premises extension of Google Cloud, ensuring that sensitive data remains behind organizational firewalls rather than being stored in the public cloud. By deploying Gemini on GDC, organizations can implement generative AI solutions while adhering to stringent data residency and compliance regulations.
The GDC platform features advanced capabilities, including the use of Nvidia’s Hopper and Blackwell GPUs, automated load balancing, and zero-touch updates for enhanced reliability. Security measures, such as audit logging and access control, ensure complete transparency for users. Additionally, GDC supports Confidential Computing, which protects sensitive data from unauthorized access.
With the Gemini models, users gain access to a wide array of functionalities, including processing diverse content formats—text, images, audio, and video. This versatility opens up numerous applications, such as multilingual collaboration, automated document summarization, intelligent chatbots, and enhanced AI-assisted code generation.
Organizations can start using Google Gemini for GDC now, marking a significant development in the integration of advanced AI capabilities within secure, compliant environments.
