Elastic received two 2025 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Awards in the Artificial Intelligence category for Data Management & AI and Tooling.
Elastic is being recognized for its achievements in the Google Cloud ecosystem, helping joint customers simplify the process of developing and deploying sophisticated GenAI applications through practical, impactful solutions.
“Google Cloud’s Partner Awards recognize partners who have created outsized value for customers through the delivery of innovative solutions and a high level of expertise,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, president, Global Partner Ecosystem, Google Cloud. “We’re proud to announce Elastic as a 2025 Google Cloud Partner Award winner and celebrate their impact enabling customer success over the past year.”
Elastic continues to deepen its collaboration with Google Cloud through integrations with Google Cloud embedding, reranking, and completion models, giving developers a unified experience for creating and ranking vectors.
Elastic is also working with Google Cloud to become the first independent software vendor (ISV) integrated directly into the user interface and software development kit for Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform. The integration will allow joint users to leverage Elastic’s vector search capabilities for grounded Gemini models prompts and agents. In addition, Elastic provides comprehensive monitoring of Vertex AI models usage by tracking critical metrics and logs to ensure optimal performance.
“Our partnership with Google Cloud is founded on deep AI integrations and a shared commitment to innovation,” said Alyssa Fitzpatrick, global vice president, Partner Sales at Elastic. “This focus directly translates into empowering our customers, unlocking new possibilities, and driving impactful results within their organizations. We are witnessing firsthand how these combined efforts accelerate their success and reinforce the value of our collaborative approach.”
Beyond Elastic’s collaboration with Google Cloud to help developers build optimized AI applications, the company also harnesses the capabilities of Google Cloud’s Gemini models to power features like Elastic AI Assistants, Attack Discovery, and Automatic Import. These offerings simplify and streamline the work done by security analysts and site reliability engineers (SREs), giving them time back to focus on strategic initiatives.
