Take a look at some of the most prominent venture capital and merger and acquisition news items from the past month. Google acquired CloudSimple, a startup that makes it easier for customers to move VMware workloads from their on-premises data centers into public clouds. The acquisition gives Google an edge as it competes against Amazon Web Services (AWS) and that public cloud provider’s hybrid cloud service with VMware called VMware Cloud on AWS.
Also, former Contrail Systems CEO Ankur Singla’s new startup Volterra officially launched with more than $50 million in funding and more than 30 customers using its distributed cloud platform.
