As they tend to do with everything else Google are maintaining a strong presence in the growing market for providing key business software and infrastructure as a service.
Just this month they have elevated their ready-to-use cloud computing product ‘Google Apps’ from beta status sending out a clear signal that this is no longer seen as ‘experimental’ and confers it status as a product in its own right.
Google Apps is a web accessible platform that provides storage and functionality to a business to run a mail server and office documentation editing capability. It’s really made up of three elements: Gmail with domain personalisation, Google Docs and Google Sites.
