Tableau Server on Google Cloud Platform

Leverage the scale and flexibility of Google’s Cloud Platform to power your Tableau Server deployment

This whitepaper is a technical guide for deploying Tableau on the Google Cloud Platform, the enterprise solution of choice for many organizations with large and complex data problems. Because Tableau integrates seamlessly with the Google Cloud Platform, IT can ensure maximum efficiency for any user to visually explore their data.

Tableau captures the entire spectrum by connecting natively to Google Analytics, Google Adwords, Google BigQuery, and Cloud SQL to analyze billions of rows in seconds without writing a single line of code. With no need to move data to in-memory storage, you can analyze data in-place to take full advantage of Google’s cloud computing capacity, providing an end to end analytics solution.

Tableau Server can be deployed in many configurations on all major public clouds. Your deployment will be unique to the needs of your organization. We will address deploying Tableau Server using Google Cloud infrastructure, implementing security and governance practices using cloud-first solutions, and connecting to data stored in the Google Cloud.
