GCP GCVE Is Generally Available In VMware Cloud Foundation

GCVE Documentation

VMware Cloud Foundation on Google Cloud VMware Engine(GCVE or GCP GCVE) is generally accessible, there is no better moment to migrate your VMware workloads to Google Cloud in order to save money and take advantage of a cutting-edge  cloud computing environment. Today, Google Cloud we are happy to announce the following in collaboration with Broadcom:

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) support is now offered at a commitment price that is approximately 20% less.

You may maintain your VMware investments by transferring your on-premises VCF licences to GCVE in a flexible manner thanks to licence portability entitlement support for VCF. With a three-year prepayment commitment, you will be able to purchase a VE1 node that enables mobility for up to 35% less1 than the prior rate, which included VMware licences.

Several new GCVE node kinds to suit your workload requirements at a reasonable price; in fact, GCVE (with VCF) can save you up to 30% compared to Azure VMware Solution.

Together with no-cost proof of concept and trial costs, commercial incentives up to 40% of GCVE first-year expenditure can be used as further migration and consumption incentives.

Convertible commitments enabling mid-term switching between various GCVE node types and alternative compute platforms such as Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Compute Engine.

Assistance with VMware Cloud Foundation

VMware  Cloud Foundation is now fully supported by GCP GCVE thanks to a cooperation with Broadcom. VCF is an all-inclusive platform that combines VMware’s management and application infrastructure capabilities with its compute, storage, and network virtualization capabilities. Apart from the pre-existing cloud infrastructure elements in GCVE, such vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and HCX, VCF encompasses other novel functionalities like Aria Suite Enterprise and Aria Operations for Networks Enterprise.

With the use of these Aria features, application performance and resource utilisation can be optimised for better application health, higher performance, and effective capacity management. Comprehensive monitoring, analytics, and insights are also provided.

Portability of VMware Cloud Foundation licence

Customers wishing to transfer the value of their current or prospective VMware Cloud Foundation licence investments to Google Cloud frequently contact us. They are happy to announce support for VCF licence portability entitlement in GCP GCVE, working with Broadcom. Put simply, you can apply already purchased VCF licences and just pay Google for the VMware Engine service and infrastructure when you choose GCVE commitment types that support portability.

You can potentially save money by bringing your own VCF subscriptions to GCP GCVE instead of having to pay for new licences, which is an advantage over earlier pricing structures. For instance, on a three-year prepayment commitment, you may buy a VE1 node that enables mobility for up to 35% less than the prior rate, which included VMware licences.

The first cloud service provider to deliver a unique VCF-integrated solution that allows licence mobility for VCF is Google  Cloud. By using Google Cloud, you can take advantage of Google’s infrastructure’s scalability, security, and innovation while getting the most out of your VMware investments.

GCVE Google Cloud

Customers have often expressed a need to support a variety of VMware workloads with improved capacity shaping in order to save expenses over time. Google Cloud unveiled the ve2-standard-128, Google’s initial node type on the VE2 node platform, earlier this year.

Google  Cloud is thrilled to present ve2-mega form family today. The 51.2 TB raw data storage and 3.2 TB cache capacity of the ve2-mega shapes are approximately 2.7 times more than those of the ve1. Two additional hyperconverged node types in the family are now available:

96 hyperthreads in ve2-mega-96 (about 1.3 times more than ve1-standard-72).

ve2-mega-128 boasts 128 hyperthreads, almost 1.7 times more than ve1-standard-72.

Additionally, ve2-standard-96, which has 48 cores and 96 hyperthreaded cores, is now available. 25.6 TB of raw data storage is included with ve2-standard forms.

Google Cloud are currently introducing two additional storage-only node types, ve2-standard-so with 25.6 TB raw data storage and ve2-mega-so with 51.2 TB raw data storage, for workloads with high storage requirements. The NVMe storage available in Google’s hyperconverged node types is also available in GCP GCVE storage-only node types, which are priced less.

You can add storage-only node types to your current GCVE clusters to easily and affordably increase your storage capacity. You don’t need to manage any external connectors or mounts to enjoy the same lightning-fast speed and simplicity of use.

Fresh financial savings coupled with obligations

With new one- and three-year term commitments, GCP GCVE now provides increased discounting for its VE1 and VE2 license-included node platforms:

VE1 nodes: rates are 22% less than they were previously.

VE2 nodes:

Discount of 37% for commitments made in advance for a year (formerly 30% for VE1)

For three-year prepayment contracts, there is a 55% discount (formerly 50% for VE1).

GCVE Pricing

These adjustments save a significant amount of money. For instance, a three-year prepaid commitment for ve1-standard-72 in us-central1 (Iowa) costs $3.60 per hour, while Azure’s AV36P three-year reserved instance in the “Central US” location costs $5.17 per hour (a reduction of around 30%)*.

Substantial rewards for lowering TCO

Clients seeking to relocate their VMware workloads to GCP GCVE seek a notable decrease in both budgetary and technical obstacles. In order to meet this need, Google Cloud collaborated closely with a number of Google cloud important service providers, and we are happy to announce:

Free consultations and proof of concept for clients, provided by Google cloud associates and financed by Google Cloud

For new clients signing a Flex or Enterprise Agreement with Google  Cloud:

Incentives for migration services: up to 25% of the additional net expenditure for the first year allocated to migration services. Several partners hold certifications for providing migration services.

Incremental consumption incentives lower customers’ total cost of ownership (TCO) as they transition their VMware workloads. Up to 15% in extra credits are awarded for incremental net usage of GCVE in the first year. Convertible obligations

What is gcve in google cloud

GCP GCVE is Google  Cloud VMware Engine. Google Cloud allows you execute VMware workloads on its infrastructure. You may relocate on-premise VMs to the cloud without changing your apps.

Simplified migration: Migrating VMs to the cloud without reworking saves time and money.

Scalability and agility: Google  Cloud’s infrastructure lets you scale resources up or down.

GCVE Architecture

When clients migrate their workloads to GCP GCVE, they frequently modify the architecture of those workloads to utilise different Google Cloud features. They haven’t been able to exploit their current GCVE obligations for these use cases, though. Google Cloud are thrilled to introduce new convertible three-year GCP GCVE commitments to support this flexibility.

For an extra fee, you can convert a portion of your commitments to other GCVE alternatives or services like Compute Engine or GKE. As an illustration:

Using dynamically scaled web-facing servers on Compute Engine or GKE, you can expand VMware setups.

You can switch between multiple GCVE node types with the flexible VE2 node platform in GCVE, which optimises resource utilisation by matching workloads to the most appropriate infrastructure as your architecture changes.

What isGCVE?

GCP GCVE is Google Cloud VMware Engine. It lets you execute VMware workloads on Google Cloud infrastructure as a managed service. This allows you to transfer on-premises VMs to Google Cloud without changing your apps.

GCVE is a viable alternative for enterprises who need VMware for their workloads yet desire the cloud’s scalability, agility, and cost reductions. It can also construct a hybrid cloud architecture with on-premises and cloud workloads.
