(Telecompaper) Google has announced new ways to connect to its cloud computing network. Customers can now choose from direct peering with Google in any of over 70 points of presence in 33 countries around the world or carrier interconnect at data centres run by Equinix, IX Reach, Level 3, Tata Communications, Telx, Verizon and Zayo. Next month, Google also will introduce VPN-based connectivity. The new services were announced at an event in San Francisco to promote its cloud services among developers. The company also announced a number of developer tools to help facilitate cloud deployments, including some from its recent acquisition Firebase. In addition, Google started a free trial for new cloud customers that includes USD 300 in credits to spend on Cloud Platform products and services. With USD 300, users can run two virtual machines for 60 days, store over 11TB of data or process over 60TB of data. Google is also cutting prices on some of its cloud services, such as Network egress (-47%), BigQuery storage (-23%), Persistent Disk Snapshots (-79%), Persistent Disk SSD (-48%) and Cloud SQL (-25%). These are in addition to the 10 percent reduction on Google Compute Engine announced at the beginning of October.

(Telecompaper) Google has announced the integration of its Voice and Hangouts services in a redesigned Hangouts app for Android, iOS and the web. The new version of Hangouts (2.3) is rolling out over the next few days. Google said users simply need to install the accompanying dialler to turn on voice calls, which will be free to any number in the US and Canada, even if those receiving calls don't have Google Voice. International calls can also be placed, though rates will apply. As part of the redesign, Hangouts users will find their Google Voice transcripts and text messages included in their Hangouts listing.
