Google Cloud VMware Engine: Storage (GCVE)
A quick overview of Storage in Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE):
VMware was recently aquired by Broadcom and the cost of many products has increased, or have been moved into more expensive bundles.
Many organizations are looking at alternate ways of running a VMware environment such as GCVE on Google Cloud Platform
