Elastic wins fifth Google Cloud Partner of the Year award

Elastic is pleased to be named a 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Award winner in the Artificial Intelligence category for Data Management and AI. This marks the fifth year in a row that Elastic has received top award recognition.

This award recognizes one partner that applied deep AI expertise to help customers incorporate machine learning in a way that met their unique use cases and needs.

Moreover, as we commit to provide our customers with the best semantic search experience, making Jina models available in Google Cloud Vertex AI Model Garden marks an important step in bringing high-performance retrieval models closer to where enterprise AI applications already run. With this integration, Elasticsearch users gain more control over data, cost predictability, and native alignment with Google Cloud infrastructure, while the Google Cloud ecosystem benefits from access to Jina’s purpose-built, state-of-the-art search and retrieval models.

Lastly, Elastic on Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) enables organizations to deploy Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) directly within GDC environments, including air-gapped environments. GDC is a fully managed software and hardware solution for data centers and edge locations to address regulatory, local data processing and privacy needs without connectivity to the public internet or Google Cloud. Elastic serves as a unified platform for security, observability, and search, allowing agencies to ingest, secure, and analyze data across on-premises and edge environments while adhering to strict security, data sovereignty, and compliance requirements.

Akeneo, a global leader in product information management, realized a 3x performance boost and 50% cost reduction with 99.9% uptime by moving to Elastic on Google Cloud.

Italian legal technology leader, Tinexta Visura, was able to streamline research, draft documents faster, and reduce costs using Elasticsearch, Google Cloud, and generative AI.

The recognition of Elastic’s impactful collaboration with Google Cloud through this Google Cloud Partner of the Year award in the AI category is indicative of our heritage in AI and focus on solving vexing customer use cases. We will continue to build on this tradition in AI to empower organizations to realize even greater levels of efficiency, productivity, and innovation.
