As thousands of clients look to modernize VMware workloads, they need
to be able to derive value from the speed and scale of cloud, while
maintaining the highest level of
resiliency,
and security needed for mission-critical workloads. That is why today,
we rolled out IBM Cloud for VMware as a Service. The combination of
IBM's hybrid cloud strategy and VMware capabilities is helping global
clients and partners modernize their workloads and expedite time to
value in hybrid cloud environments.
Today's news builds on our 20-year partnership with VMware, expanding
upon one of the broadest portfolios of VMware solutions in market with
the general availability of a new, IBM-managed, offering designed to
help enterprises accelerate their adoption of hybrid cloud. Building off news of
our growing partnership earlier this year, this is a crucial stepping
stone for both companies as we work toward a shared goal of helping
global clients and partners modernize.
The collaboration of IBM and VMware is helping some of the world's
most influential companies, especially those in regulated industries,
modernize their workloads. Together, we are bringing differentiated
value to our joint clients with:
- Security: The offering is built upon IBM's secure-to-the-core architecture with confidential computing
capabilities embedded in IBM Cloud along with VMware's software stack,
helping to ensure clients' data is secured across environments, no
matter where the data resides.
- Performance: IBM provides choice to clients in how
they build, deploy and manage their business processes. The new service
is engineered to lower the complexity and risk of migrating and
modernizing mission-critical workloads. It will help manage performance
needs of applications and data that serves client business processes,
especially for those in regulated industries such as financial services,
healthcare and public sector.
- Compliance: With IBM Cloud for VMware as a
Service, clients can leverage industry specific controls built-in to IBM
Cloud to help manage their compliance and regulatory requirements.
This is designed to help ensure clients can mitigate third- and
fourth-party risk as they move to the cloud with confidence, adhering to
regulations and compliance with controls embedded in IBM Cloud.
IBM and VMware continue to strengthen our partnership that has helped
clients realize their technology goals over the past 20 years. We
previously announced that IBM Consulting is a Global Systems Integrator
(GSI) for VMware and provides our clients with a suite of services to
help clients migrate, modernize and manage their most important
workloads across hybrid, multi-cloud environments. This is critical for
clients who are looking for the deep skills and expertise required to
help transform their business.
