The move to cloud gains momentum
There’s no one-size-fits-all cloud, especially for large organizations with decades of accumulated applications, data and existing IT. For those enterprises, cloud is more than a destination for old applications — it’s a journey toward digital transformation.
Organizations are moving to hybrid cloud, and large enterprises — those with 10,000 or more employees — are leading the way, with 70% planning to move to a hybrid cloud environment (see graphic). Learn the reasons for this growing momentum in the 451 Research business impact brief, Hybrid, Multi-Cloud IT Strategies Demand Specialized Platforms, Services.
“ Our clients...need a hybrid and multicloud solution that can seamlessly incorporate their workloads across on-premise, private and public cloud environments. The success of our IBM public cloud is foundational to our hybrid cloud strategy. ”
— Arvind Krishna, Senior Vice President, Cloud and Cognitive Software, IBM Research

New chapter, new solutions
Multicloud brings more complexity
Enterprises plan to increase engagement with cloud vendors to tap into additional capabilities and resources to handle more demanding workloads. The added complexity of these multicloud environments requires a public cloud platform that allows diverse environments, once provisioned, to work together seamlessly. Learn why Technology Business Research, Inc. calls IBM Cloud the public cloud for a hybrid and multicloud future.
Business-critical workoads require features beyond IaaS
Cloud adoption initially served as a cost savings tool for the replacement of aging, expensive infrastructure. Now cloud drives transformation and innovation with differentiated applications-such as AI, security, blockchain and industry-specific offerings-and through integration across multiple cloud platforms. Learn more about these and other key findings and forecasts in the latest IaaS market report from Frost & Sullivan.
