Google Cloud VMware Engine is designed to meet all of these concerns and more…
Google Cloud VMware Engine
Easily scalable, easy to integrate all in one package
- Operational continuity and policy compatibility: Google offers native access to VMware platforms. The architecture is compatible with all your existing VMware applications.
- No training needed for users: Google Cloud VMware Engine looks and feels like on-premise equivalents.
- Infrastructure agility: Get on-demand self-service provisioning of VMware cloud environments, with the ability to add and remove capacity on demand or reserve capacity to lower costs.
- Infrastructure monitoring, troubleshooting, and support: Google operates your underlying infrastructure as a service. Failed hardware is automatically replaced. Focus on consumption while Google manages VMware platform deployments and upgrades, management plane backups, health and capacity monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and remediation.
- Security: Edge-type networking services, including VPN, public IP, and internet gateways run on Google Cloud and carry the security and distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) protection of Google Cloud. Infrastructure is fully dedicated to you and physically isolated from infrastructure of other customers.
- Hybrid platform: VMware Engine enables high-speed, low-latency connectivity to the rest of Google Cloud, as well as your on-premises environment.
- Convenient monitoring: Monitoring and management tools help you keep track of platform activity, resource usage, user account management, billing, and metering.
- Lower cost: VMware Engine provides high levels of automation, operational efficiency, and economies of scale. Google further lowers costs by publishing solution architectures for you to use Google Cloud services in an integrated VMware cloud in a public cloud architecture.

Primary business use cases for Google Cloud VMware Engine
No staff reskilling, staff reassignment
- VMware Engine will look and feel the very same as on-premises or CoLo VMware environments
- Current technical staff skill sets will still apply
- Infrastructure support staff can learn cloud operating model and technical skills over time
Shift from CapEx to OpEx and go faster
Increase your flexibility and shore up against uncertainty
- Data center refreshes require significant investments but VMware engine is a predictable OpEx
- Many enterprise data center equipment is near or past supportable life
- Lines of business are often forced to wait for capacity from IT teams – VMware Engine provides flexible capacity on demand
VMware licensing renewals and Broadcom acquisition concerns
- Typical VMware ELAs are 3 year contracts. Renewals require significant investments. VMware Engine can be bought on demand or in 1 or 3 year CUDs
- Customers may be concerned about the Broadcom acquisition. VMware Engine offers multi-year price protection
Merger and acquisition support
- Data center and real estate consolidation savings are usually considered in M&A due diligence and savings
- VMware Engine is the “easy button” to consolidate/migrate acquired company data centers
- “For Sale” (and hence acquired) companies often have outdated data center equipment to preserve cash flow during sale season
Data center migration
and extension
- Evacuate data centers quickly and non-disruptively
- Move COTS applications and custom applications with same format and management tools
- Move away from VMware Cloud on AWS
- Global availability
- Fast migrations (100GB)
Disaster recovery
and backup
- Lower cost DR (3rd-party storage as Datastores)
- Customers can bring over Zerto, Veeam, Actifio, NetApp, and more
- Leader in at-rest and in-transit data security
- Low footprint DR (3-4 nodes then scale as needed)
3rd-party virtual desktop support
- VMware Horizon View (the only way to move and support VMware View VDI to Google Cloud)
- Support for Citrix VDI
- Scalable user storage (profiles and data)
System / app support
and data modernisation
