Google acquires CloudSimple

Google has announced that it has acquired CloudSimple, a leading provider of secure, high performance, dedicated environments to run VMware workloads in the cloud. The acquisition builds on Google’s existing partnership with CloudSimple that was announced the end of July this year, allowing the Mountain View company to accelerate a fully integrated VMware migration solution with improved support for our customers.

Through Google’s existing partnership with CloudSimple, customers can migrate their VMware workloads from on-premises data centres directly into Google Cloud VMware Solution by CloudSimple, while also creating new VMware workloads as needed. Their apps can run exactly the same as they have been on-premises but with all the benefits of the cloud, like performance, elasticity and integration with key cloud services and technologies. And best of all, customers can do all this without having to re-architect existing VMware-based applications and workloads which helps them operate more efficiently and reduce costs while also allowing IT staff to maintain consistency and use their existing VMware tools, workflows and support.
