Google Cloud has added a new service that promises to make it easier for enterprise customers to securely network multiple cloud-based resources.<\/p>\n

The Cross-Cloud Network service consists of new and existing Google Cloud technology and includes a partner ecosystem to help organizations develop, build and support distributed enterprise applications across clouds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that 70-plus percent of our enterprises are going to adopt multicloud. [The] idea behind Cross-Cloud Network is that today many organizations operate bespoke networks with turnkey security to connect to those clouds that are operationally complex to manage and build, thereby resulting in a much higher total cost of ownership and soaring costs,\u201d said Muninder Sambi, vice president and general manager of networking for Google Cloud. \u201cThey set up private data centers to connect and secure the hybrid workforce to access cloud and on-prem resources and manage multiple CDN clouds to accelerate web apps. All of this can also lead to an inconsistent security posture and drives up total costs,\u201d Sambi said.<\/p>\n

Cross-Cloud Network is designed to address those challenges and offer a consistent way to interconnect applications without compromising application delivery or security, Sambi said.<\/p>\n

Key to the Cross-Cloud Network service is the vendor\u2019s Cross Cloud Interconnect<\/a> feature, introduced in May, that offers 10 Gbps or 100 Gbps managed, encrypted links to connect Google virtual private cloud (VPC), other VPCs or virtual networks in different clouds. The service supports security options such as IPsec VPN or MACsec and is backed with a 99.99% SLA promise, Sambi said.<\/p>\n

Using Cross-Cloud Network can reduce network latency by 35% and total cost of ownership by 40% versus networking applications without routing the traffic over Google\u2019s network, Sambi said.<\/p>\n
