Google Cloud launches cloud migration service

Google Cloud has announced the launch of Dual Run, a cloud migration service built on technology developed by Santander bank.

Santander has already begun using Dual Run to bring legacy data and workloads onto Google Cloud's infrastructure.

Offered exclusively on Google Cloud, Google will reportedly host a series of customer events in the coming months to showcase Dual Run's capabilities with engineers and developers from Santander.

Dirk Marzluf, group chief operating and technology officer at Santander, said: “Migrating from legacy infrastructure to modern technology is a key challenge for banks and many other industries.”

He continued: “Dual Run for Google Cloud, which leverages the innovation we’ve developed in-house at Santander, will be critical for the digital transformation of many companies and is a testament to the outstanding technology built by our teams.”

“Migrating mainframe systems to the cloud provides organisations with opportunities to better utilise their data, implement stronger cybersecurity protections, and build a foundation for their transformation,” said Sachin Gupta, vice president and general manager of Infrastructure at Google Cloud. “Santander’s innovation has helped quickly respond to the needs of customers running legacy systems so they can begin their cloud journey with confidence and ease.”
