Cisco and Google to provide new Hybrid Cloud Solution

To deliver a hybrid cloud solution that will help customers maximize their investments across cloud and on-premises environments, Cisco and Google Cloud have entered into partnership. The companies will provide a unique and open hybrid cloud offering that enables applications and services to be deployed, managed and secured across on-premises environments and Google Cloud Platform. The solution delivers cloud speed and scale, with enterprise-class security.

"Our partnership with Google gives our customers the very best cloud has to offer -- agility and scale, coupled with enterprise-class security and support," said Chuck Robbins, Chief Executive Officer, Cisco. "We share a common vision of a hybrid cloud world that delivers the speed of innovation in an open and secure environment to bring the right solutions to our customers."

The offering provides enterprises with a way to run, secure and monitor workloads, thus enabling them to optimize their existing investments, plan their cloud migration at their own pace and avoid vendor lockin. Companies can now develop new applications in the cloud or on-premises, consistently using the same developer tools, run-time, and production environment.

"This joint solution from Google and Cisco facilitates an easy and incremental approach to tapping the benefits of the Cloud. This is what we hear customers asking for," said Diane Greene, CEO, Google Cloud.

The joint Cisco and Google Cloud hybrid solution helps developers leverage managed Kubernetes, GCP Service Catalog, Cisco networking and security, and Istio authentication and service mesh monitoring. Enterprise app developers can securely access cloud APIs, and cloud developers can securely access enterprise APIs and on-premises resources.
