At this Keynote/Fireside Chat session — now available on demand with a premium subscription to Acceleration Economy — IBM Cloud exec Howard Boville and Cloud Wars Founder Bob Evans discuss the mix of infrastructure that the typical customer uses today, and how IBM facilitates that mix and differentiates the benefits it can deliver.
Highlights from Howard Boville, and What You Will Learn:
- Customers operate a mix of on-premises, off-premises and hybrid systems with all the variants of multi-cloud — IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS. IBM has prioritized hybrid and multi-cloud accordingly, Boville says.
- One of the primary benefits of a multi-cloud approach for customers is protecting themselves from being locked out of cloud innovation from the major players – AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and more.
- Customers whose cloud needs are centered in mid-office and back-office processes of have been largely untouched by the major cloud providers, and IBM is prepared to address those with its multi-cloud approach.
- How banking and other regulated industries can comply with industry regulations “automatically:” if a fintech company uses the IBM cloud, its software automatically inherits the required controls while it focuses on developing the functional capabilities that banking customers require.
