Fast-Growing Startup CloudWerx Is Winning With Google Cloud

One of Google Clouds fastest-growing partners says its Silicon Valley customers are placing their bets on Google versus Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, which helped CloudWerx achieve Google Clouds Premier Partner status faster than any other channel partner in history.

Were seeing a ton of this now in Silicon Valley where the customers that are AWS 100 percent, they now want more leverage, said CloudWerx CEO and co-founder Jason Geis. Then once they start to play around with Google, they love it. And once it gets in, then it just continues to grow.

San Jose, Calif.-based CloudWerx is a cloud consulting startup that placed its future on Google Cloud versus AWS or Microsoft Azure.

The solution provider has a focus on winning digital-native companies in Californias Silicon Valley area with a 100 percent customer retention rate. CloudWerx is on pace to increase annual revenue by 10-times in 2022, with Google Cloud sales accounting for the vast majority of sales.

AWS is the worldwide market share leader in cloud computing, holding approximately 33 percent share of the global market as of the first quarter of 2022, according to IT research firm Synergy Research Group.

Microsoft Azure is No. 2 at 22 percent global cloud market share, followed by Google Cloud at No. 3 at 10 percent share.

CloudWerxs sales and marketing leader Betsy Reed said Google Cloud is currently offering the best-in-class technology out of any cloud vendor in the market today.

Obviously, Amazons the leader. You then have Azure and then you have Google coming up in third place. But its not because the product isnt superior, its because they just hadnt focused their efforts and energy in selling and servicing customers on their public cloud, said Reed, who co-founded the cloud startup. Google now, in our humble opinion, has the best-in-class cloud platform with the Google Cloud Platform with the most native features, security and otherwise.
