RENO, Nev., March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Looking ahead to Google Cloud Next '24, CIQ reports that its ongoing collaboration with Google Cloud continues to flourish, with customer adoption growing over 500% in the past year. CIQ—the company leading the next generation of software infrastructure for enterprises—continues its commitment to supporting customers in running enterprise workloads with optimized performance and premium integrated support for workloads on Google Cloud.
CIQ and Google Cloud began working together in 2022 to jointly provide customers with an exceptional cloud experience on Rocky Linux. The collaboration covers all Rocky Linux-based enterprise-grade support offerings, delivering comprehensive support from the cloud platform through to the enterprise Linux operating system. This integrated product and support partnership provides customers with the ability to use Rocky Linux on Google Cloud with an optimized, standardized, and simplified experience that is bug-for-bug compatible with Community Rocky Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
"Customer demand for our Rocky Linux solutions is growing rapidly in every industry, we've seen tremendous adoption and consumption growth with Google Cloud," said Colin VanderSmith, vice president of product management and technology partnerships at CIQ. "These signals have become a consistent pattern of customers everywhere choosing CIQ and Google Cloud together for their most important production workloads."
The CIQ partnership with Google was designed to meet the needs of customers and partners migrating from CentOS to Rocky Linux. CIQ's Rocky Linux solutions are available on Google Cloud Marketplace, making tailored configurations and support available for the specialized workloads of customers. Customers and partners can test, procure and deploy Rocky Linux with CIQ Premium Support while still taking advantage of many Google Cloud Marketplace benefits they are accustomed to.
Additionally, CIQ and Google have collaborated to create a Rocky Linux migration program. Built exclusively for Google, this program addresses customers' security, performance and support concerns with a viable solution to quickly and securely move to Rocky Linux on Google Cloud without disruption, all with 24/7 support from CIQ. The program was designed for customers moving off CentOS, but it is equally valuable to any organization migrating to Rocky Linux from any enterprise Linux distribution.
Come meet the CIQ team at Google Cloud Next at booth #231 April 9-11, 2024 in Las Vegas to see the products and support purpose-built for Google customers.
