Case Study: HTC achieves zero downtime, improved reliability, and 40% cost savings with Google Cloud Platform

HTC Enhances Mobile User Experience with Google Cloud Platform

HTC, the mobile device maker known for its OEM-branded smartphones and apps, needed a more stable, reliable platform for its mobile applications. The company wanted to improve data reliability, reduce bandwidth usage, and give developers less time spent debugging and more time building features, so it chose Google Cloud Platform with services like Google Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Datastore.

Google Cloud Platform helped HTC launch its app platform in December 2014 with zero downtime, no backend issues, and zero customer-reported bugs. Cloud Datastore’s synchronization and replication improved reliability and reduced bandwidth, while scalable infrastructure cut HTC’s costs by 40 percent. The stable performance also freed designers and developers to focus on user experience rather than infrastructure problems.
