Native VPC networking gives you private layer-3 access between VMware environments and other Google Cloud services, allowing you to use standard access mechanisms such as Cloud VPN or Interconnect. Additionally, billing, identity, and access control are integrated to unify the experience with other Google Cloud services.
Robust VMware ecosystem solutions
Continue to leverage IT management tools and third-party services consistent with the on-premises environment. We’re partnering closely with leading storage, backup, and disaster recovery providers such as NetApp, Actifio, Veeam, Zerto, Cohesity, and Dell Technologies to ensure support for third-party solutions, ease the migration journey, and enable business continuity.

Utilize familiar VMware tools or Google Cloud operations suite
We make it easy for you to move to the cloud because you can continue to use the same VMware tools, processes, and policies you are familiar with. Manage your on-premises VMware workloads and those in the cloud with the same suite of tools to simplify your migration. Additionally, you can use Google Cloud operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve application performance on your Google Cloud environment.
