When the Google Cloud Partner Program launched today, numerous cloud services providers (CSPs), integrators, consultants and Big Data software companies announced support for the effort. But who exactly is jumping on the Google Cloud Partner Program bandwagon? Here’s an early list of supporters, and what they had to say.
The initial partners include (but are not limited to…)
