IBM has launched new products and services to manage multiple clouds. With this, it is investing more in becoming the go-to provider for companies that use multiple public and private cloud platforms, says Silicon Angle.
The IBM Institute for Business Value estimates that 98 percent of all organizations have adopted hybrid IT architectures in 2021. This allows companies to take advantage of the unique capabilities of each cloud platform. However, the use of the hybrid architecture is complicated because there are few consistent tools to manage and integrate multiple clouds.
That’s why IBM is adding more tools and services for hybrid clouds. The company announced a new Cloud Integration Platform at the IBM Think conference in San Francisco. This should make it easier to roll out software applications on multiple clouds. In addition, new services were unveiled to help manage resources in multiple cloud environments and secure the data and applications in those environments.
The IBM Cloud Integration Platform is the basis of the company’s new hybrid cloud strategy. The platform connects applications, software and services within public and private clouds and on-premise systems. The platform provides integration tools for the apps that are accessible from a single developer environment. Developers only need to write, test and secure their code once before rolling it out to the most appropriate cloud.
Services
In addition, the company is launching a new Cloud Advisory consulting service to help clients build their entire cloud strategy from start to finish. Teams use open and secure multi-client strategies and its own Cloud Innovate methodology and tools to help customers develop applications, migrate, modernise and manage.
In addition, new services were announced to help secure cloud workloads. These include IBM Hyper Protect Crypto Service, which offers encryption key management via a dedicated cloud hardware security module based on FIPS 140-2 level 4-based technology.
