Google Cloud Next '26: Three New Tools for Software You Own

How Infinary is putting three new tools from Google Cloud Next 2026 — Agent Identity, the Virgo network, and Knowledge Catalog — to work inside business software you own outright.

The announcements at Google Cloud Next 2026 mark a real change in how business software works. Software used to sit there and wait for you to click. Now it can take action on its own — an AI assistant that does the work, learning from your own data. At Infinary, our job has always been to give you the most useful, unrestricted view of your operations. To keep that promise, we’re putting three new Google tools to work right away inside the Infinary platform.

Here’s a plain look at how we’re using each one to make your AI-powered business software stronger and more secure.

Agent Identity: Giving Each AI Helper Its Own ID

An “AI assistant that does the work” only earns its keep if it can act safely. The tricky part is getting these helpers to talk to each other — and to your data — without opening a security hole. Google’s new Agent Identity solves that by giving each AI helper its own secure, verifiable ID badge. We’re retiring our older approach in favor of it.

In our systems, the AI helpers — the one that answers questions from your own data, and the one that handles purchasing — each carry a distinct, tamper-proof identity. So when a helper looks up sensitive financial figures or starts a transaction, it can only do exactly what its job allows, and nothing more.

The Virgo Network: Moving Data Almost Instantly

Factories run on up-to-the-second readings from their equipment. Google’s new Virgo network changes how fast that data can travel.

Virgo sends data over direct fiber-optic paths, so information flows straight from a client’s factory floor to the computers running their system. It skips the usual traffic jams, so the delay between far-apart locations all but disappears. The payoff: a live view of your supply chain, and equipment-failure predictions that react in a flash.

Knowledge Catalog: One Place That Connects Everything

The change our customers will feel most is the Knowledge Catalog. Until now, we kept tidy business records (orders, ledgers) and loose documents (PDFs, drawings) in separate filing systems.

Now we bring it all together — production schedules, engineering drawings, supplier contracts, HR records — into one connected map of your information. That gives the AI a single, always-available picture of the whole business. Ask about a supply-chain holdup, and the answer is pulled together from every corner of your data at once, instead of from one silo at a time.

Why Owning It Outright Matters

These Google tools are powerful, but they only pay off when they’re set up right. We run Agent Identity, Virgo, and the Knowledge Catalog inside your own private, walled-off section of Google Cloud. That keeps everything sealed off: your data never trains public AI models, and the whole setup stays yours — software, data, and servers.

We’re not just bolting on new technology. We’re rewiring how a modern business actually runs.
