By leveraging the scalability and reliability of Google Cloud, customers now have the opportunity to analyze, process, and extract meaningful insights from Planet's extensive archive of satellite imagery. The combination of PlanetScope's capabilities with Google Cloud's infrastructure opens new avenues for efficient and comprehensive Earth monitoring projects, benefiting researchers, developers, and businesses in various sectors.
Planet's reputation as the operator of the largest fleet of Earth observation satellites is unmatched, generating a vast dataset that is unparalleled in the industry. The PlanetScope product, known for its 3.7-meter resolution images of every terrestrial location on Earth taken almost daily, is utilized by a diverse range of stakeholders including governments, corporations, and research institutions. These users leverage the data for numerous applications such as agricultural monitoring, urban planning, supply chain management, and initiatives aimed at sustainable development.
Kevin Weil, President of Planet, emphasized the goal of making Earth imagery broadly accessible to support data-informed decisions for the growth and sustainability of critical industries. "By bringing PlanetScope data to Google Cloud Marketplace, we are offering new and existing customers unique opportunities for broad area management," Weil stated. This move is expected to simplify the process of purchasing and analyzing geospatial data at scale, a boon for users seeking to streamline their workflows.
One of the key benefits of this integration is the enhancement of buyer efficiency by eliminating lengthy procurement cycles and offering consolidated billing through existing Google Cloud accounts. Google Cloud's technology enables users to effortlessly scale their satellite imagery requirements as their projects expand, thereby improving their geospatial analysis capabilities. With access to Planet's data, users can manage broad areas, identify patterns of change, and generate timely insights for data-driven decision-making.
Dai Vu, Managing Director of Marketplace and ISV GTM Programs at Google Cloud, highlighted the benefits of this collaboration, "Bringing Planet to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly explore and manage the PlanetScope Earth-observation data on Google Cloud's trusted, global infrastructure." He further noted that Planet's expansion on Google Cloud would secure and scale customer support throughout their digital transformation journeys.
