Multicloud without the Friction

Multicloud Just Became a Lot More Feasible

Multicloud just became a lot more feasible.

On Monday, Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services announced that they are directly connecting their clouds through a jointly developed solution.

No more waiting months for physical connections or dealing with complex routing. From now on: private, high-speed connectivity between the two clouds, set up in minutes.

Nice, but what does this mean for most organizations? Until now, multicloud was mainly an architectural dream. The reality was fragmented networks, data silos, and long lead times to connect cloud environments.

This collaboration changes the game:

• Less infrastructure hassle
• Faster integration of data and applications between AWS and GCP
• More flexibility for AI and data strategies across multiple clouds

Is your organization already working with one of these clouds? Then multicloud can suddenly make sense. Think access to the model garden in Vertex AI, or scalable storage and compute through AWS.

And perhaps even more importantly: the door is now open to a truly open multicloud standard, one that puts simplicity and flexibility first.

Multicloud is no longer defined by your network team, but by your business strategy.
