Google, Oracle, Microsoft Make Their Case For Vmware Migrations - HPE On The Outer?
The Register, Monday, July 22nd, 2024
New instance types and discounts galore, and Broadcom all smiles as its preferred licensing finds more friends
Google Cloud has delivered a Broadcom-compliant version of its cloudy VMware offering, and pitched it as a keenly priced migration target.
The VMware Cloud Foundation on Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) does a lot of the things Broadcom wants its channel to deliver. For starters, it is based on Cloud Foundation - Broadcom's preferred bundle of VMware's hybrid cloud products. It also recognizes Broadcom's license portability plan, which it advances as a fine way to use VMware entitlements flexibly across on-prem and cloudy resources.
