Greatresponder.com – Google corporation the search engine giant has announced the availability of its ambitious product in the domain of cloud computing called as ‘Compute Engine’. This is an infrastructure as a service platform like the ones operated by Amazon and Microsoft Corporation.

The IT giant also plans to provide world class 24×7 customer services and almost 100% availability or network uptime. It was further added that the virtual machines will be self healing and will be up within minutes in case of any hardware failure or maintenance activities. This can be done by setting up ‘Compute Engine’ to automatically restart the instances in case of hardware failures.
The company has also announced the support for Red Hat Linux Enterprise – thus, the developers can use any out of the box Red Hat Linux distribution – this will be good news for the developers and business that use infrastructure as a service for their business and software development.
