If you are building out a distributed edge cloud with Google Distributed Cloud Connected Server, then you have a great reason to visit with Rakuten Cloud at Google Cloud Next 2026 (April 22-24 in Las Vegas, NV).

You may have met with us at last year’s Next show and heard about the seamless integration of Rakuten Cloud-Native Storage with Google Distributed Cloud Connected Server (GDCCS).

That powerful solution has achieved such resounding success with customers that Google has now formalized Rakuten Cloud as an OEM partner. This unique agreement means you can now acquire our advanced storage software directly from Google as a part of GDCCS: One SKU. One download. One install.

Simplify your deployments, eliminate procurement woes, and discover more groundbreaking developments at Next ‘26.

Get ready for a power-packed week

As an official sponsor of Next ’26, Rakuten Cloud anticipates a highly productive week, with more than 35,000 thought leaders and cloud experts together for three days of networking and in-depth content.

Visit us at Booth #2107 for a packed schedule of live product demos, insightful presentations, and engaging panels.
