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.
