RightScale to Resell Google Compute Engine

RightScale announced it is the first partner to resell Google Compute Engine.

RightScale integration of its cloud management platform with Google Compute Engine provides customers with comprehensive management and automation for the Google Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud.

As a Google strategic partner and reseller, RightScale will also offer tailored onboarding packages through its professional services organization and world-class support for customers.

RightScale is now the first Google reseller to provide a streamlined and fully supported path for users wanting to trial and purchase Google Compute Engine. When developers and organizations choose to deploy their workloads on Google Compute Engine, the RightScale cloud management platform creates efficient, automated provisioning and operations.

Using RightScale, customers can automate and customize the build-up, operation, and break-down of many types of workloads, from on-demand data analysis clusters, to batch processing, to 3-tier web apps built to specific customer requirements. With this announcement, customers will be able to purchase Google Compute Engine services directly from RightScale and leverage on-boarding and support services from RightScale’s professional services team.

RightScale and Google will also offer custom solutions created for industry verticals, including Advertising, Media, Entertainment and Gaming. The industry specific solutions will provide speed to market, scalability and consistent performance — critical for the global applications deployed by those verticals.

"RightScale is the leader in cloud management with deep expertise helping customers take full advantage of the cloud. They allow organizations to start quickly and provides them a path to accelerate their cloud projects by streamlining ongoing operations," said Dan Powers, Director Cloud Platform Sales & GTM, Google. "RightScale is an important partner in helping customers leverage the agility and power of Google Compute Engine."

"Google is poised to be a dominant player in Infrastructure-as-a-Service, particularly where Internet-scale, reliability and dynamic resources are required," said Thorsten von Eicken, CTO of RightScale. "Our own internal tests and early response from our beta customers demonstrate that Google Compute Engine has a remarkably consistent performance level. The combination of our cloud management technology, support and professional services with Google Compute Engine creates the positive experience and quality of service that meets the high standards for which RightScale is known."
