Google has updated it’s branding of Google for Work, Google’s Cloud Platform, and the rest of the company’s cloud-based services, not just logos in this case, but also some of the formal names as well. What was once “Google for Work” is now called “Google Cloud”. The update has caused a little confusion, so we’ve reviewed the information and hopefully, we can bring you some clarity.

Within Google Cloud, we have:

1. Google Cloud Platform (most popular in the past for its Compute Engine IaaS offering (now just part of Compute offerings), but it also has much more. Such as Storage/Databases, Big Data, and Machine Learning APIs as we will point out at the bottom of this article)
2. Maps (with APIs for business mapping)
3. G Suite (what used to be called Google Apps, still with the same Communication, Collaboration, and Storage solutions)
4. Chrome and Android (focused on enterprise use cases)

Following is a depiction of the high level offerings within the newly branded Google Cloud.
