This joint solution will help our customers simplify enterprise networking and advance security capabilities while enabling IT teams to minimize infrastructure costs and meet application service-level objectives.
• Demand for the hybrid cloud solution and services has grown over the enterprise's environment evolution. Organizations are now facing the challenges of utilizing big data in their database for competitive advantage. It has pushed enterprises to adapt to hybrid cloud services. Some end-users such as BFSI, healthcare, instead of opting for a complete switch to the cloud, choose hybrid services. Such adoption measures have created an opportunity for a hybrid integration platform in the market. As technology is advancing, the number of devices that consumers use to initiate transactions is also proliferating, making the number of transactions increase. This rapid growth in data requires better acquisition, organization, integration, and analysis.
• As businesses look to optimize their infrastructure from supply chains to core banking systems, enterprises are at a critical juncture in their cloud journey as they begin to modernize their most mission-critical workloads in search of more incredible speed and flexibility. With data often spread across disparate computing environments, clients embrace a hybrid strategy in which they're enabling applications to share data across clouds and on-premises domains. VMware and IBM have helped almost 2,000 enterprises on their hybrid cloud transformation, with clients such as American Airlines, Veritas, Fujifilm, Universidad Europea, and others adopting IBM Cloud and VMware solutions.
• In November 2019, IBM announced an extended partnership with VMware to accelerate hybrid cloud innovation and adoption across global enterprises. Through new and updated technology offerings, IBM makes it easier than ever for enterprises of all sizes to more securely move VMware workloads to the cloud and leverage available technologies to modernize their business operations.
