Identity and federated access management provider OpenAthens has chosen Google Cloud Platform as its public cloud partner.
The move to a public cloud, engineered by IT director, Neil Scully, and application architect David Orrell, signifies a new phase in the evolution of OpenAthens in its mission to remove barriers to knowledge and connect people around the world to information.
Following a market review of cloud providers, OpenAthens selected Google Cloud and its Kubernetes managed environment as the optimum solution to streamline the process of deploying, updating and managing its applications and services.
Using Google Cloud, OpenAthens' team can manage its full systems independently without having to rely on outside support for new projects or updates. In addition, auto scaling features mean the platform can proactively respond to demand peaks which mean a highly consistent experience for users.
The platform also means that test and development areas do not need to run at times when the team is not working, for example, the agile nature of Google Cloud means these areas are turned off at weekends when no one is working on them.
The transfer to OpenAthens' Google Cloud has now been completed and its global customers which span the publishing, healthcare, education and research sectors are already experiencing the benefits of the move.
