deliver new gen AI capabilities
LAS
VEGAS, April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Cloud Next '24, LAS
VEGAS -- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) and Google Cloud
today announced an expanded partnership that will involve
optimizing Broadcom's VMware workloads for Google Cloud, jointly
collaborating on go-to-market initiatives, adding more Broadcom
products and services to Google Cloud Marketplace, and Broadcom
infusing Google Cloud's generative AI capabilities.
"Google Cloud has been a trusted partner in our digital
transformation journey at Broadcom," said Rich Jardine, Vice President, Cloud Platform
Engineering and Operations, Broadcom. "We look forward to ongoing
collaboration with Google to make sure we deliver the best user
experience to our customers who are running the most
advanced IT infrastructure in the world."
"Businesses run mission-critical workloads on Broadcom and
VMware software, which will now be optimized for Google Cloud's
secure, trusted infrastructure," said Kevin Ichhpurani, Corporate
Vice President, Global Partner Ecosystem & Channels, Google
Cloud. "Together with Broadcom, we will enhance user experiences by
streamlining operations with generative AI and enabling license
portability for VMware Cloud Foundation users."
Broadcom and Google Cloud have a long history of working
together to improve enterprise security and help businesses
modernize their infrastructures. The expanded partnership announced
today will focus on:
- Leveraging Google Cloud's unique capabilities
for VMware workloads: By moving the company's
VMware workloads to Google Cloud–including customer-facing products
and services as well as internal services–Broadcom can take
advantage of Google's core platform capabilities, as well as
use Vertex AI to enhance customer experiences. Broadcom has
already enriched the SymantecAI platform with Google Cloud's gen AI
technology, and it will continue to grow its gen AI adoption as
part of the partnership.
- Joint product and go-to-market collaboration: Broadcom
and Google Cloud will further align their product and go-to-market
organizations to enhance support for mutual customers, including
deeper network solution integrations that simplify cloud
deployments for mutual customers. Increased organizational
alignment will enable the companies to identify business growth
opportunities and better assist customers with infrastructure
modernization.
- Google Cloud Marketplace: Broadcom plans to add several
more products and services to Google Cloud Marketplace, such as
Symantec Network Protection, which will enable customers to scale
Broadcom solutions simply and quickly to their organizations.
Customers can continue to deploy many previously-available
Marketplace offerings, including Broadcom's Agile Operations
solutions like AppNeta, Clarity, and Rally. VMware Tanzu
Application Service, Gemfire, and RabbitMQ are currently
available on Google Cloud Marketplace as well.
Coming Soon: Bringing Portability of VMware Cloud Foundation
Licenses to Google Cloud VMware Engine
Earlier this year,
Broadcom and Google Cloud announced plans to support portability of
VMware Cloud Foundation licenses to Google Cloud VMware Engine
(GCVE). Those capabilities are targeted to be available by this
July, enabling customers to purchase subscriptions of the new
VMware Cloud Foundation software from Broadcom and flexibly use
those subscriptions in Google Cloud VMware Engine, as well as their
own on-prem data centers. GCVE can be consumed with the VMware
Cloud Foundation licensing included in the solution. With VMware
Cloud Foundation on Google Cloud VMware Engine, customers can
simplify infrastructure, improve reliability, and build
applications with BigQuery and Google Cloud's AI/ML
capabilities.
