If you’re reading this, you’re probably aware of the ongoing challenge businesses face when it comes to modernizing their applications. Moving from legacy systems to cloud-native solutions is not only complex, but it can also seem like an overwhelming process. The pressure to modernize while keeping things running smoothly can leave many companies stuck between maintaining their old infrastructure and adopting the latest technologies.
But what if there was a way to modernize your applications at your own pace? To move to the cloud without abandoning your on-premises infrastructure? That’s where Google Distributed Cloud Virtual (GDC Virtual) and Supermicro SuperBlade® step in. In this blog, we will talk about how their solution is helping businesses make this transition seamless, simple, and cost-effective.
How Supermicro SuperBlade® and GDC Virtual Work Together
When it comes to powerful and energy-efficient IT solutions, Supermicro is a name you can rely on. Their SuperBlade® platform is built to handle tough tasks, offering great performance with AMD EPYC processors and smart networking. It’s designed to support everything from virtual machines to bare-metal systems, making it perfect for businesses that need flexibility. But what if you could take this powerful hardware and add cloud capabilities?
Google Distributed Cloud Virtual (GDC Virtual) is a software solution built on Anthos that brings the power of the cloud to your own data center. It helps businesses modernize their apps and systems without starting from scratch, so you can move to the cloud at your own pace, while still keeping your old systems running. The real magic happens when you combine Supermicro SuperBlade® with GDC Virtual. Together, they create a hybrid cloud solution that gives you the best of both worlds—cloud benefits like flexibility and scalability, along with the security and control of on-prem hardware. This powerful combo helps businesses upgrade their infrastructure, boost performance, and save costs, all while keeping things secure and flexible.
