Live on Bloomberg TV

00:00JOINING ME NOW TO DISCUSS MORE ABOUT HOW GOOGLE WILL CONTINUE TO SCALE, THOMAS KURIAN OF GOOGLE CLOUD. GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK WITH US. I ' M SO CURIOUS AS TO YOUR OUTLOOK IN MARKET TURMOIL AND WHAT YOU SEE ABOUT DEMAND OR SLOWDOWNS IN SPENDING. THOMAS: WE ARE SEEING THE MARKET ENTER VOLATILITY IN SOME PARTS OF THE WORLD BUT TECHNOLOGY IS HELPING ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS CUSTOMERS BETTER AND GET ONLINE DIGITALLY WITH A DEMAND FOR CLOUD REMAINING VERY STRONG FOR US. EMILY: WHAT ' S YOUR TAKE ON THE BROADCOM VMWARE DEAL AND HOW WILL IT CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE? THOMAS: THEY ARE BOTH PARTNERS OF GOOGLE AND WE ARE THRILLED THEY ARE LOOKING AT MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER. WE THINK A LOT OF THE STORES ARE USING A COMBINATION OF THOSE TOGETHER WITH A STRONG PROGRAM. CLOUD PEOPLE MIGRATE, SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING OUR WORK WITH BOTH COMPANIES. EMILY: NOW, GOOGLE CLOUD IS STILL GROWING, AS I SAID. BUT IT IS THIRD TO AWS AND MICROSOFT AND THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO CLOSE THE GAP. WHAT IS THE SECRET WEAPON GOING TO BE? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE YOU GET CLOSER TO THOSE OTHER COMPETITORS? THOMAS: WE ARE SEEING VERY STRONG DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS. WHETHER IT IS NEW KINDS OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE ARE DELIVERING, WE ARE DELIVERING INFRASTRUCTURE CAPABILITIES LIKE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS. THE ANNOUNCEMENT WITH BELL CANADA FOR EXAMPLE, LOTS OF CONCENTRATION OUTSIDE SECURITY TOOLS TO PROTECT PEOPLE ' S NETWORKS AND APPLICATIONS AND DATA IN THE CLOUD AND WE ARE SEEING VERY, VERY STRONG INTEREST IN ANALYTICS AND DATA PRODUCTS THAT ARE BEING USED. RECENTLY THERE WAS A CASE STUDY ABOUT UPS OPTIMIZING THEIR TRUCK ROUTING USING OUR CAPABILITIES FOR ANALYTICS AND DATA. WE REMAIN FOCUSED ON PROVIDING GREAT SOLUTIONS WITH CUSTOMERS AND BRINGING THE INNOVATION OF GOOGLE TO CUSTOMERS AND DOING SO AT SCALE AROUND THE WORLD AND IF WE DO THAT WELL WE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND GAIN MARKET SHARE AS WE HAVE BEEN THESE LAST THREE YEARS. EMILY: YOUR RECENT SUSTAINABILITY SURVEY FOUND THAT 50% OF EXECUTIVES BELIEVE THERE WAS HYPOCRISY IN THEIR ORGANIZATION ON THIS TOPIC. HOW SO? THOMAS: WHAT WE FOUND FROM THE SURVEY IS THAT IT IS A SUPER IMPORTANCE PRIORITY FOR 80% OF ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. YET THEY HAVE DIFFICULTY, 35 TO 40% OF ORGANIZATIONS STRUGGLE WITH BEING ABLE TO MEASURE THEIR PROGRESS BECAUSE THE DATA ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT AS EASILY MEASURABLE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. A NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS NOW NEED HELP TO PROGRESS TOWARDS THEIR SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES AND WE AT GOOGLE ARE HELPING MANY ORGANIZATIONS DO THAT. EMILY: HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THAT HYPOCRISY DOESN ' T EXIST AT GOOGLE? THIS HAS BEEN A CRITICISM OF ALL THE BIG CLOUD COMPANIES. FOR EXAMPLE YOU DO SELL YOUR SERVICES TO OIL AND GAS COMPANIES. WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE? THOMAS: WE SELL SERVICES TO OIL AND GAS COMPANIES NOT FOR EXPLORATION OR PRODUCTION BUT TO THE ENVIRONMENTALLY CLEAN OR GREEN PARTS OF THESE COMPANIES FOR THE WORK THEY ARE DOING. WE ARE HELPING OIL AND GAS COMPANIES D CARBONIZED IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT PLACES. HELP THEM WITH THINGS LIKE DISTRIBUTION, ETC., IN THEIR RETAIL STORES AND OTHER THINGS, BUT WE ARE NOT IN THE EXPLORATION PRODUCTION BUSINESS. SECOND, WE DO HELP MANY COMPANIES IN THE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY BUSINESS. BOTH I PROVIDING OUR TECHNOLOGY TO THEM AND BY BEING THE LARGEST PROCURER OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE WORLD. WE POWER OUR DATA CENTERS AND OUR GLOBAL NETWORK OF CLOUD REGIONS USING GREEN ENERGY MORE AND MORE AND WE THINK -- AND WE HAVE BEEN CARBON NEUTRAL FOR 14 YEARS NOW EVEN AS WE PROVIDE TECHNOLOGY FOR MANY ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD, I.T. AND A MORE RENEWABLE WAY. EMILY: DOES GOOGLE STILL HAVE THAT DEAL WITH ARAMCO, FOR EXAMPLE? THOMAS: WITH THEIR SYSTEMS INTEGRATION DIVISION, NOT THE OIL AND GAS DIVISION AND WE WORKED WITH THEM TO PROVIDE TECHNOLOGY TO CUSTOMERS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE MIDDLE EAST. WE HAVE SAID THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN, WE DON ' T WORK WITH THE OIL AND GAS DIVISION IN ARAMCO. EMILY: GOOGLE RECENTLY STRUCK A DEAL TO ENHANCE THEIR CLOUD OFFERINGS. QUICKLY, HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE CYBER THREAT LANDSCAPE RIGHT NOW IN THE MIDST OF THIS ONGOING WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE? THOMAS: IT ' S CHANGING IN THE KINDS OF THREATS, THE SCOPE OF THE THREATS, THE SCALE OF THE ATTACKS. ALONG WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AND DETECTING THREATS. ANNA -- ANALYZING WHETHER THEY HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED. CHRONICLING AND SIMPLIFYING A LOT OF THOSE CYBERSECURITY PRODUCTS. COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS, REVELATORY INSTITUTIONS,
