Google buys US-based CloudSimple to fortify its enterprise cloud business

Google has acquired US-based CloudSimple for an undisclosed amount, a move that will help the tech giant further strengthen its cloud business.

CloudSimple, which allows companies to run computing workloads that are based on VMware’s server virtualisation technology, is headquartered in Santa Clara, US. Founded in 2016, it has offices in Ukraine and India (Bengaluru, Gurugram and Pune), and its investors include Mayfield, Redpoint and M12 (Microsoft’s venture fund).

“This acquisition builds on our existing partnership with CloudSimple that we announced earlier this year, allowing us to accelerate a fully integrated VMware migration solution with improved support for our customers,” Google Vice-President (Engineering) Rich Sanzi said in a blogpost.
