(RTTNews) - Google Cloud, a unit of Google, and VMware Inc. (VMW) announced an expansion of their strategic partnership by announcing a new service that will allow organizations to run their VMware workloads in Google Cloud Platform or GCP.

The Google Cloud VMware Solution by CloudSimple will offer customers the choice and flexibility to run VMware workloads on-premises, in a hybrid architecture, or in the cloud.

The solution will leverage VMware Cloud Foundation infrastructure software, deployed on GCP, and designed and operated by CloudSimple, a VMware Cloud Verified partner.

We're delighted to partner with VMware to support these workloads, enabling customers to leverage Google Cloud's core competencies such as secure, performant, global and highly available infrastructure, AI, ML and analytics," said Thomas Kurian, CEO at Google Cloud.
