When Google announced that it was acquiring a data analytics startup Looker for $2.6 billion, it was a big deal on a couple of levels.Today, the company announced that the deal has officially closed and Looker is part of the Google Cloud Platform. While Kurian was happy to announce that Looker was officially part of the Google family, he made it clear in a blog post that the analytics arm would continue to support multiple cloud vendors beyond Google.“Google Cloud and Looker share a common philosophy around delivering open solutions and supporting customers wherever they are—be it on Google Cloud, in other public clouds, or on-premises. As more organizations adopt a multi-cloud strategy, Looker customers and partners can expect continued support of all cloud data management systems like Amazon Redshift, Azure SQL, Snowflake, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and Teradata,” Kurian wrote.
