IBM and VMware Partner to Launch Hybrid Cloud Solution, Accelerating Digital Transformation
IBM and VMware are joining forces to propel mutual clients along their digital transformation journeys, regardless of their current stage.
IBM is set to become the inaugural public cloud provider to introduce a new partner-managed service based on VMware Cloud editions, a pivotal step within the VMware Cross-Cloud managed service initiative.
This upcoming service promises a hybrid cloud solution aligned with a NIST-validated framework, facilitating seamless workload migration between on-premises and IBM Cloud environments.
The VMware Cross-Cloud managed services offer customers an opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership, accelerate application development and modernization, and streamline operations while addressing crucial security and industry compliance requirements.
Additionally, IBM and VMware are expanding the capabilities of the IBM Cloud for VMware as a Service by introducing a cloud-managed multi-tenant vCloud Director solution. Clients can leverage applications in a shared environment while tailoring application instances to suit their unique business needs.
With IBM Cloud's management plane overseeing the operations, clients benefit from built-in maintenance, upgrades, monitoring, and security controls provided by IBM experts well-versed in VMware technologies.
Prioritizing Security Maturity in Complex Hybrid Cloud Environments
Businesses face a critical juncture in addressing the rising cost and frequency of data breaches, as highlighted in IBM's latest Cost of a Data Breach Report.
To combat modern threats and safeguard valuable data, IBM introduced IBM Cloud Cyber Recovery, encompassing backup, disaster recovery, and cyber recovery solutions. Now, clients can leverage IBM Consulting to access IBM Cloud Cyber Recovery (ICCR) Service as a managed service, offering fast and scalable recovery capabilities across cloud environments.
This service empowers clients to minimize the business impact of cyberattacks while maintaining compliance controls and data resiliency required for their overall business operations.
Leveraging the Transformative Power of Ecosystem Partnerships
Collaboration with ecosystem partners is paramount in accelerating clients' modernization journeys by providing access to new technologies, research, and competencies.
