你們的平臺(tái)策略是什么？

????我們進(jìn)入企業(yè)級(jí)市場的時(shí)間有些晚。不過，我們擁有不少真正令人矚目的核心資產(chǎn)。我們在海量數(shù)據(jù)領(lǐng)域的優(yōu)勢無人能敵。依靠這一優(yōu)勢，我們得以開發(fā)出谷歌應(yīng)用引擎（Google App Engine）等產(chǎn)品，開發(fā)者能利用它們構(gòu)建、搭載自己的應(yīng)用程序。我們在“平臺(tái)即服務(wù)”方面進(jìn)展神速。我們同時(shí)還開發(fā)出了自己的核心基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施產(chǎn)品——第一款產(chǎn)品是存儲(chǔ)。我們擁有不少自主研發(fā)、具有絕對(duì)自主知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的技術(shù)。我們是世界上最大的海量數(shù)據(jù)公司，我們發(fā)明了很多海量數(shù)據(jù)處理專利算法。我們開發(fā)了一個(gè)名為“預(yù)測”的應(yīng)用程序接口（API），目前正在福特（Ford）汽車上進(jìn)行測試。

谷歌可以提供哪些亞馬遜（Amazon）力所不能及的服務(wù)嗎？

????亞馬遜發(fā)展得很好，不過我們認(rèn)為它是一家純粹的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施公司。谷歌和它的不同之處在于，我們能開發(fā)出越來越豐富的應(yīng)用程序接口——例如翻譯、海量數(shù)據(jù)、預(yù)測等。開發(fā)者們能充分利用這些需要耗費(fèi)幾百年的人力才開發(fā)出來的算法。平臺(tái)是我們策略中最為重要的一部分，從我們過去半年所發(fā)布的產(chǎn)品中就能看到這一點(diǎn)。更多新產(chǎn)品正蓄勢待發(fā)。

What's your platform strategy?

????We've come a little late to that party. But we have some really interesting core structural assets. There are things that we do in the data center at scale that nobody else does. On top of that we built certain products like the Google App Engine for developers to build and host their apps. Our platform-as-a-service is growing very fast. We also make our core infrastructure available. The first product we had was storage. And we have several different fairly proprietary pieces of technology that we're opening up. We are the largest big data company in the world, and we built proprietary algorithms for managing that data. There's an API called prediction that we made available, and it's now being used inside Ford (F) vehicles, in a beta stage.

Can you offer anything that Amazon (AMZN) can't?

????We think Amazon's done a nice job, but they're a pure infrastructure commodity play. The differentiating capabilities will be as we open up more and more of these APIs -- like translate, big data, prediction and more. Developers will be able to take advantage of hundreds of years of manpower of building those algorithms. Platform is a very important part of our strategy, and you can see that from the last two quarters of our product launches. And there's more coming.
