Google Distributed Cloud air gapped

Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped is an integrated hardware and software platform for running cloud services in an isolated, on-premises environment. It supports organizations that require local control over sensitive workloads, including government, defense, and regulated enterprises. Infrastructure, services, APIs, and management tools operate without connectivity to Google Cloud or the public internet. Operations can be performed by Google, a trusted partner, or a combination of both, with operator citizenship and clearance requirements tailored to the deployment.

The platform runs Kubernetes container workloads and virtual machines, with block and object storage, networking, access controls, monitoring, and backup services. Local AI capabilities include speech-to-text, translation, optical character recognition, and generative AI. Organizations can use it to process sensitive documents, deploy internal applications, and run AI workloads within their own security perimeter. Deployment includes site assessment and integrated hardware installation; software packages are transferred into the disconnected environment through a controlled offline process.
