ARMONK, N.Y., July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM)
today announced that IBM public cloud has been named a leader in
the Nucleus Research 2020 IaaS Value Matrix.
In the report, Nucleus evaluated infrastructure-as-a-service
(IaaS) vendors based on their products' usability, functionality
and overall value. IBM public cloud is positioned squarely in the
Leaders' Quadrant. The report notes the IBM public cloud's ability
to integrate with customers' existing investments in on-premises
and public cloud infrastructure while still enabling the
flexibility and efficiency of public cloud as a key differentiator.
In addition, the industry-leading security of the IBM public cloud
makes it more accessible to businesses that want to modernize
applications but need to do so in a security-conscious manner.
"IBM's approach to IaaS and cloud computing specializes in
bringing modern cloud-native capabilities to high complexity and
mission critical enterprise workloads," says Daniel Elman, analyst at Nucleus Research. "With
the acquisition of Red Hat and embrace of a cloud-first long-term
strategy, we expect IBM to experience strong continued growth
across its IaaS portfolio."
As businesses migrate, modernize and build new applications to
achieve greater scale and efficiency, they need do so while knowing
that their data will remain secured and, for those in highly
regulated industries, maintaining their compliance obligations.
Public cloud plays a critical role in this modernization process
because of the efficiency, scale and access to high value services,
such as AI and blockchain, it provides for even the most complex
workloads.
The IBM public cloud is the industry's most open and secure
public cloud for business. With more than 60 cloud data centers
across 19 countries and 18 availability zones across 6 regions,
with several more expected by the end of the year. IBM public cloud
helps enterprises in all industries with their global deployment
requirements. It offers the industry's only commercially available
state-of-art cryptographic technology for the cloud called "Keep
Your Own Key," enabling enterprises to retain control of their own
encryption keys – and the hardware security modules that protect
them. For businesses in highly regulated industries such as
finance, healthcare and insurance, this can be an opportunity to
take advantage of the benefits of cloud in support of their
security and compliance needs.
"IBM has built our public cloud on industry-leading open source
and secured infrastructure technology, so that clients across
industries – including regulated ones – can take advantage," said
Harish Grama, general manager, IBM public cloud. "And for clients
with existing hybrid and multicloud architectures, we offer an
optimized platform on which to run Red Hat OpenShift. This
recognition from Nucleus Research is a strong endorsement of our
approach."
