Optimize cloud costs and automate security with IBM’s Multicloud management tools
One of the biggest obstacles for any organization’s cloud expansion is cost. “Pay as you go” feels more like “pain as you grow,” which opens the door for second guessing: Is cloud actually reducing spend? Is our infrastructure compliant? Are our policies being adhered to? IBM’s cloud management tools help answer these questions. The user-friendly dashboards and automation capabilities give you full control and transparency of your cloud estates and costs across Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform and on-prem VMware, so when questions arise you have accurate answers in just a few clicks.

IBM’s Multicloud products were developed by Nordcloud, an IBM Company, the European leader in cloud migration, application development and managed services.
The toolkit was first used to help Nordcloud’s in-house managed cloud teams with their work across Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP and on-prem VMware, and then was so successful that it became an integral part of Nordcloud’s offerings throughout the customer cloud journey.
Nordcloud’s cloud native experts continue to support the ongoing development for IBM Multicloud and the tools remain an integral part of how Nordcloud drives IBM customers towards success in the cloud.
