Google Cloud, Nutanix streamline the move to hybrid cloud
As Google Cloud transforms its infrastructure offerings with a pivot into enterprise, Nutanix Inc. is translating its enterprise experience into cloud services. Together, they are helping businesses streamline the move to hybrid cloud.
“Nutanix is largely redefining what [information technology] looks like on-premise. We believe we’re doing that in cloud, and [we both] really just want to eliminate the impedance between on-premises and public cloud … make it more seamless for users that want to use core cloud technology,” said Brian Stevens (pictured, left), vice president and chief technology officer of Google Cloud.
“The ability to take [Nutanix’s] experience … with the workloads that customers are running, and then being able to work with a partner like Google and actually be able to have hybrid clouds where [you have] internal private cloud plus having public cloud providers, that really ends up changing the game for a lot of enterprises,” added Ricardo Jenez (pictured, right), senior vice president of development at Nutanix.
Stevens and Jenez spoke with Stu Miniman (@stu), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, and guest host Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor), principal at The CTO Advisor, during the Nutanix NEXT US event in New Orleans. They discussed how the partnership between Google and Nutanix benefits enterprise customers, and Stevens and Jenez gave opinions on controversial industry topics, such as how far the Kubernetes container management platform should go. (* Disclosure below.)
Nutanix to deploy Xi within Google Cloud with nested AHV
How does Nutanix come together with Google, which runs at two different speeds, to make Google Cloud more consumable to the average enterprise?
“Basically, we’re going to be able to deploy Xi [cloud services] within Google Cloud with nested AHV [virtualization],” said Jenez, who described how this will give customers the ability to migrate jobs to a Google Cloud offering, as well as opening up Google’s other capabilities. “It’s an ability to kind of do that school migration if you want to, but you have that capability of being able to go back and forth in terms of what your workloads are.”
Other topics covered in the discussion included application portability and Google’s recent acquisition of cloud migration start-up Velostrata Inc., as well as challenges and opportunities in storage. Asked to weigh in on the industry debate over how far Kubernetes should go, Stevens said: “I think you’re going to get away from this false dichotomy of a choice over here or here, and you’re going to all of a sudden get this architectural layering cake that lets you opt into what you want and have IT consistency all the way through it.”
