The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides everything you need for your mission-critical workloads. With 110+ services for compute, storage, migration, databases, networking, developer and management tools, Internet of Things, data analytics and AI and machine learning, GCP ensures that your applications are always running smoothly.
Customers like Best Buy, Charles Schwab, Domino's, Johnson & Johnson, Khan Academy, and Sky News use GCP for its secure, efficient and cost-effective cloud infrastructure. GCP lets you achieve instant scalability, enterprise-grade performance and enhanced stability through its global presence across 17 regions and 52 zones in 35 countries.
If you’re one of those organizations betting big on Google Cloud, OpsRamp is here to help. You’ll gain comprehensive capabilities for Google Cloud Platform monitoring with OpsRamp’s future-ready platform that delivers a consolidated view of your GCP inventory, utilization and consumption.
Proactive Insights For Managing Your GCP Applications and Infrastructure
With one master domain account in GCP, you can better organize your activities with Projects. You can assign different cloud resources and teams to a project and easily handle billing, monitoring and authentication for each project. While projects are great for governance at an activity level, you will not gain the unified visibility and control that you need to better understand the performance of your multiple projects.

Manage your different GCP subscriptions in a single place and clearly understand the availability and health of your GCP projects with OpsRamp. You’ll be able to onboard, monitor and optimize your dynamic GCP environments through a combination of OpsRamp’s Discovery, Intelligence and Optimization capabilities:
Discovery. How do you keep track of your fast-expanding cloud footprint in GCP? You’ll be able to discover all your GCP services like Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, Cloud Load Balancing and Cloud DNS using OpsRamp’s API-based discovery engine. You can also view the geographical distribution of compute machines based on the regions where they are hosted. Finally, you can create GCP cloud resource widgets to understand the regions, accounts and the number of resources utilized across all your projects.
