The first is the famous Google Apps - a combination of services that users can use as part of their own domain to enable common functionality. The different parts of the Google network - Gmail, Calendar, Talk,Sites and Docs - are combined into a packaged offeri ng that users can subscribe to in an enterprise. This enables users to have their entire organization's data stored up in Google's "cloud"'1ind make it accessible almost anywhere.

The other service that Google offers is the Google App Engine. ThIs is an online application framework where users can host their own applications. However, the Google App Engine only supports a limited version of Python as their programming framework.
