MOUNTAIN VIEW (dpa-AFX) - Google Cloud (GOOG) and France-based Orange SA
(ORAN) announced Tuesday they have expanded their collaboration to deploy
artificial intelligence, including gen AI, closer to Orange's and its customers'
operations.

Through the use of Google Distributed Cloud (GDC), Orange can meet local
requirements for cloud environments, accelerate AI adoption and benefits for
customers, and foster an open and value-driven approach.

GDC is a fully managed hardware and software solution that brings the power of
Google's AI services to the Edge, air-gapped environments, and Cross-Cloud.

By bringing the cloud into the data center via GDC, Orange is enabling faster
deployment of AI applications for local teams, and fostering agility and
responsiveness.

Google Cloud worked with Orange from the concept stage onwards to co-design its
Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) deployment, which allows Orange to establish a
local cloud.

This collaboration will bring the cloud to Orange's own data centers, protecting
sensitive workloads that must stay on-premises and also enabling Orange to
filter extremely high-volume data. It also opens up avenues for new business
opportunities, as it makes it possible for use cases to be delivered across many
Orange countries.
