One package, clear roles
From Google software to a working site
Google Distributed Cloud is the software foundation. Partner hardware and services make it deployable, and AuraGrid manages everything around the node for life.
The anchor product
Google Distributed Cloud connected
Google manages the node software. This partnership supplies, stages, installs and supports the hardware, then connects day-two operations around it. The store and delivery experience are provided by the partner team.
- 01
Google
Google Distributed Cloud connected software
Google-managed software on partner-supplied hardware, licensed per vCPU. Google runs the node software and shows it in Google Cloud console. Workloads keep running for up to 7 days disconnected. Run Gemma and Gemini Flash on your own node.
- 02
Dell, Intel-based, HPE, Lenovo, MSI
Right-sized hardware
Four tiers from a single Pro Micro to a fully populated XR8000 or an XE7745 with Blackwell. Pick the vendor. Capacity and price follow the tier, not the badge.
- 03
Zones
Staging, installation, field services and supply chain
Staged at the Zones Technical Solutions Center, installed by Zones technicians in 105+ countries, supported next business day or next calendar day, tracked in Zones’ planning system from Dell’s line to your door.

AuraGrid by Elevate Digital
The operations platform
One place to see and act on every site for life: orders and shipments, health, machine-to-machine remediation, playbooks, assets and warranties, RMA and refresh. Command Tower is the global view. NinjaOne, CloudCover, Centerity, SentinelOne, Tanium, ServiceNow, Juniper Mist and Cradlepoint plug in, and you can swap or bring your own.

Where Google’s console starts
Once enrolled, you manage the GDC node software in Google Cloud console. Everything around it is managed for you in AuraGrid.
Intermittent connectivity, no problem
Intermittent connectivity, no problem. GDC connected keeps your workloads running for up to 7 days if the site loses its link to Google Cloud.
