Google, Dell, Intel and other major technology companies in the IT and cloud computing industries formed the Modern Computing Alliance to address the biggest IT challenges facing companies, with integration from silicon to cloud. The founding members of the Modern Computing Alliance include Box, Citrix, Dell, Imprivata, Intel, Okta, RingCentral, Slack, VMware, and Zoom. Google is taking part with its Chrome browser and Chrome OS teams, as well as the division responsible for Google Workplace.
Members are aligning standards and technologies to provide companies with the choice of cloud-first computing products from the vendor of their choice. Its collective mission is to drive ‘silicon-to-cloud’ innovation for the benefit of enterprise customers, fueling a differentiated modern computing platform and providing additional choice for integrated business products.
The Modern Computing Alliance will initially be focused on four areas: performance; security and identity; remote work, productivity, and collaboration; and healthcare. The organisation is inviting IT professionals to join to create a council of experts and will make known some early innovations in H1 2021.
