Storage for hybrid cloud
Build once, deploy anywhere
IBM® Storage for hybrid cloud empowers you to deploy cloud architectures on-premises and extend them seamlessly to public cloud environments. Stop maintaining and start innovating by taking control of your hybrid cloud environments. Make IT more agile, scalable, secure, efficient and cost effective for your portable workloads.
Application modernization initiatives have become increasingly prominent across the modern business landscape, and organizations have needed to modernize their infrastructures accordingly and look for cost-effective storage solutions both on-premises and cloud-based. One of the major challenges is the pricing with cloud storage services, as cloud providers charge based on the amount of data storage space used. However, organizations can minimize pricing by implementing data lifecycle management policies to prevent excessive accumulation of backup data in the cloud.
Benefits
IBM Storage enables organizations to deploy hybrid cloud architectures on-premises, extending seamlessly to private and public cloud environments. This flexibility allows businesses to quickly scale resources in response to changing demands and traffic spikes.
IBM Storage optimizes storage infrastructure, enhancing efficiency in a cost-effective manner. Advanced storage solutions optimize data placement, reduce storage footprint and improve overall resource efficiency, resulting in reduced operational costs and improved return on investment.
