Google Cloud acquires Cornerstone

Key Takeaways

Google Cloud has acquired Cornerstone Technology to assist customers in migrating mainframe workloads to its cloud platform.

There is a growing demand for customers to transition from monolithic mainframe applications to Java-based solutions, either as monoliths or microservices.

The modernization of applications is a key focus of the Cornerstone toolset, aligning with industry trends towards service-oriented architecture.

Google Cloud has acquired mainframe application specialist, Cornerstone Technology, to help customers migrate their mainframe workloads to Google Cloud.

“As the industry increasingly builds applications as a set of services, many customers want to break their mainframe monolith programs into either Java monoliths or Java microservices,” said Howard Weale, Google’s director of transformation.

“This approach to application modernisation is at the heart of the Cornerstone toolset.”
