Google’s cloud-computing unit unveiled an expanded partnership with software maker VMware Inc., as the Alphabet Inc. division seeks to catch up to rivals that have similar deals.
The pact will help VMware, which makes virtualization and networking tools, satisfy customers who want to move VMware-based workloads from their corporate servers to Google’s public cloud, the companies said Monday in interviews with executives. VMware and Google are expected to formally announce the tie-up on Tuesday.
