VMworld Google Cloud VMware Engine

Google Cloud at VMworld and Featured Customers

It is hard to believe that VMworld 2021 begins in less than one month. VMware and Google Cloud teams have been hard at work to develop leading edge sessions that showcase our partnership, benefits of Google Cloud VMware Engine, and immersive demonstrations. VMworld attendees will also have opportunity to hear directly from customers sharing their experiences and resulting business outcomes with Google Cloud VMware Engine and Google Cloud. Featured customers and industry leaders include:

  • Nicolas Forgues, SVP and CTO of Carrefour—one of the largest supermarket chains in the world, based in France
  • Osamu Iwasaki, SVP and Global System Development Leader of LIXIL—one of the largest global manufacturers of home products, based in Japan
  • Salvatore Cassara, CIO, and Josef Schmid, Head of IT, with SGB-SMIT—a global power supply manufacturer, based in Germany

You can hear from these customers at Session MCL1677: Customers Share their (Google Cloud VMware Engine) Success Stories. We hope that you can participate, either live or access on-demand, in Google Cloud sessions as you plan your VMworld 2021 experience. Here is a summary of all 12 Google Cloud sessions and demonstrations at VMworld 2021. Please feel free to add these sessions to your list of “favorites” from the VMworld Content Catalog.

Demo ISM-HOL-2279-95-ISM: Google Cloud VMware Engine Overview

This is an introductory lab focused on Google Cloud VMware Engine, including HCX Migration.

Demo 3116: Google BigQuery Demonstration Featuring Google Cloud VMware Engine

Discover how quickly your business can accelerate cloud-first strategies. Google Cloud VMware Engine empowers IT teams to migrate datasets and workloads from the VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) to Google Cloud Platform quickly and securely. This demonstration will show how Google Cloud VMware Engine migrates a sample credit card fraud dataset from the VMware SDDC to Google Cloud Platform. You’ll then see how to apply Google Cloud Services to that same dataset using Google BigQuery in a matter of minutes.

Demo 3119: Connecting Google Cloud VMware Engine Workloads to Cloud Filestore Private

Google Cloud Filestore can provide Google-managed NFS file services to Google Cloud VMware Engine workloads over the Google Cloud VMware Engine Private Connection. Cloud Filestore creates a new virtual private cloud (VPC) peering connection rather than using the Google Producer VPC network that services such as Cloud SQL and Cloud Build use for Private Services Access. This creates a few challenges for Google Cloud VMware Engine connectivity. Learn about those challenges and a production-ready solution to use Cloud Filestore with Google Cloud VMware Engine workloads.

Demo 3118: Connecting Google Cloud VMware Engine Workloads to Cloud SQL Private

Connect Cloud SQL, managed MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server to Google Cloud VMware Engine workloads using Private Services Access. Using a Google Cloud VMware Engine Private Connection, you can access on-premises workloads, Google Compute Engine workloads running in your virtual private cloud (VPC) network, or Google managed services (such as Cloud SQL) over a highly available, Google-managed connection.
