Wayfair places bets on Google Cloud platform

Wayfair is using Google Cloud as the foundation for its new hybrid cloud strategy. 

This includes supporting the surge in traffic that comes with peak sales periods like WayDay, the US e-commerce venture’s annual sale, and Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

Wayfair is also using Google Cloud’s data, analytics and productivity tools. "As we evolve our public cloud strategy, our customers depend on secure, high performance, and reliable connectivity from our datacentres to Google Cloud,”  says Steve Crusenberry, Vice President, Infrastructure and Platform Engineering, Wayfair.

“We turned to Google as our cloud provider because Google’s network has the throughput, bandwidth, and latency required for our business applications.”
