Hyderabad:
Global Internet search giant Google Inc Thursday announced plans
to hire 300 people to double its engineering headcount in India
and strengthen Hyderabad as its largest cloud computing research
and development centre in the world.
The firm plans to recruit 300 engineers in couple of years to
increase its presence in India with focus on cloud computing.
Peeyush Ranjan, head of engineering, Google India, told reporters
here that 300 engineers were already working in Hyderabad and
Bangalore on cloud computing.
Cloud computing is web-based processing, whereby shared resources,
software, and information are provided to computers and other
devices such as smart phones on demand over the Internet.
Google already has cloud computing centres in Mountain View in
California and New York but the Hyderabad centre is the largest in
terms of the number of engineers working here.
Google already has 2,000 employees in India and the Hyderabad
engineering centre will be core to its efforts to focus on cloud
computing, he said.
While the engineering centre in Bangalore is working on cloud
computing as well as search, ads, maps and news, the Hyderabad
centre is focusing only on cloud computing.
"The work being done in these two centres are global in nature and
the technologies they are developing are for the business
globally," he said.
There is an administrative control panel in Bangalore which
manages the business of a customer once it is up in clouds.
"India is a great market for cloud computing as it is the most
price sensitive. Since cloud computing ensures efficiency and
better utilization of resources, small and medium business are
excited about it," he said.
Google has around three million customers in cloud computing
globally. About 100,000 businesses in India are already using
Google's cloud computing technologies.
