Google BigQuery is a cloud-based, fully managed, serverless enterprise data warehouse that supports analytics over petabyte-scale data. It delivers high-speed analysis of large data sets while reducing or eliminating investments in onsite infrastructure or database administrators. BigQuery scales its use of hardware up or down to maximize performance of each query, adding and removing compute and storage resources as required.

Ultimately, Google BigQuery enables organizations to address the cost and complexity challenges associated with building and maintaining a fast, scalable, and resilient big data infrastructure. By leveraging Google BigQuery’s cloud-based approach, the time and cost traditionally dedicated to protecting data and guaranteeing uptime is nearly eliminated. With Google handling scalability, replication, protection, and recovery, organizations can focus more on gaining valuable insights, as opposed to infrastructure management
