the system behind

Photon Platform

efficiency-illustration

Efficient

At any given time Photon ensures applications have the exact amount of resources required without the overhead.

Photon manages placement of applications on the system to allocate jobs by maximizing system resource usage efficiently. With an industry average of just 15% per machine utilization, Photon is designed to increase the workload-machine utilization by up to 80%.

stability-illustrator

Stable

Failures happen. From natural disasters to memory leaks, real-world workloads are constantly at risk of being shut down unexpectedly.

Photon is designed from the ground-up as a fault-tolerant infrastructure platform. Workloads are distributed across multiple datacenters and will be re-provisioned the moment that any failure is detected.

secure-illustration

Secure

Workload security is a fundamental challenge for cloud infrastructure and networked computing in general.

Photon mitigates the security risks of distributed computing with a three-pronged approach: isolated execution environments, encrypted communications channels, and a certification program for data center providers.

planetary-illustration

Planetary Scale

The Photon network connects over 4,000 datacenters across the globe and designed to provision thousands of containers in seconds.

Photon is built for hyper, warehouse, and planetary scale. The foundational elements of Photon — scheduling and fault tolerance — are built on years of experience running production scale system at Google
