Report: Google Tried to Stop Microsoft and CISPE Antitrust Deal

Remember last week’s antitrust settlement between Microsoft and CISPE? Well, now reports show that Google sought to prevent that deal from happening. 

If you’ve been following the Microsoft and CISPE drama, we have the latest update in this week’s cloud computing news roundup.

Stick around after that Microsoft and CISPE update, though. There are several more pieces of news cloud partners will want to absorb. After Microsoft and CISPE, we look at which former Google exec just joined an AI startup, and in what capacity. Then we move to a product update from Leostream, which has its eye on unhappy VMware users and channel partners.

After that, get the scoop on what both C3 AI and RapidScale are doing − albeit separately − with Google Cloud. All that said, we promise this is not a Google Cloud-only news roundup. As proof, we’ll next review what’s happening between IT and cloud consultancy Globant and Amazon Web Services. 

Finally, we’ll wrap up this roundup with an overview of data platform provider Nasuni’s new report. A lot of vendors have been issuing self-funded studies this year amid cloud-sector shifts and Nasuni’s targets hybrid cloud environments (no shocker since that’s its bread and butter).

Get yourself up to date with the latest big and smaller cloud news, starting with the latest in the Microsoft and CISPE antitrust saga. See the slideshow above.
