The two companies have partnered to offer Google Cloud customers the latest Intel technologies to scale and optimize their hybrid and multi-cloud workloads
SADA, a leading, global business and technology consultancy, announces a pilot program with Intel that is intended to ensure its customers’ Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments are performing as well and as cost-effectively as possible. The new program officially launched earlier this month and currently includes more than a dozen companies.
Initially the program will include some of SADA’s largest customers, but over time it might be made available to all customers. To qualify for the program, customers must meet a certain level of annual spend on GCP and related Google Cloud services. Customers must also be using specific Intel hardware (N2, C2, M2, M1 or O2 instances) and running specific workloads (i.e. smart analytics, data warehousing, infrastructure modernization or application modernization).

Throughout the program, SADA will work with their customers and Intel on their workload placement, cost and performance benchmarking, and GCP configuration to determine how its technology can help customers reduce their total cost of ownership and improve their return on investment. By using Intel hardware that has been optimized for a specific environment, companies often save money and achieve better performance.
