VMware to Offer Google Cloud Platform Services on vCloud Air

VMware has announced an expanded agreement with Google to deliver greater enterprise access to public cloud services via VMware vCloud Air. As part of this agreement, Google Cloud Platform will be tightly integrated into vCloud Air, providing enterprise customers with greater access to industry-leading cloud services on VMware’s hybrid cloud platform.

The initial set of Google Cloud Platform services that will be available on vCloud Air include:

  • Google Cloud Storage  Google’s distributed low-cost object storage service
  • Google BigQuery  A real-time big data analytics service suitable for running ad-hoc business intelligence queries across billions of data points in seconds
  • Google Cloud Datastore  Google’s schema-less, document-based NoSQL database service with automatic scale and full transactional integrity
  • Google Cloud DNS  A globally distributed low-latency DNS service

Expected to be available later this year, existing VMware vCloud Air customers will have access to the new services under their current service contract and existing network interconnect, and simply pay for the Google Cloud Platform services they consume. The two companies also announced they are exploring extended management support for Google Cloud Platform as part of VMware’s award-winning vRealize Cloud Management Suite.
