Google entered into an agreement to acquire enterprise cloud migration technology company, Velostrata. The company’s software solutions enables enterprises to migrate workloads from on-premises data centers to and from public cloud in minutes and adopt the cloud at their own pace.
In a blog post Eyal Manor, VP Engineering at Google Cloud said, “With Velostrata, Google Cloud customers obtain two important benefits: they’ll be able to adapt their workloads on-the-fly for cloud execution, and they can decouple their compute from storage without performance degradation. This means they can easily and quickly migrate virtual machine-based workloads like large databases, enterprise applications, DevOps, and large batch processing to and from the cloud. On top of that, customers can control and automate where their data lives at all times—either on-premises or in the cloud—in as little as a few clicks.”
He adds, “This acquisition, subject to closing conditions, will add to our broad portfolio of migration tools to support enterprises in their journey to the cloud. That way, businesses can simplify their onboarding process to Google Cloud Platform, and easily migrate workloads to Google Compute Engine.”
