IBM Updates to Its Hybrid Cloud Software Portfolio

IBM has introduced data and automation updates to its hybrid cloud software portfolio, which will help its clients accelerate their digital transformations. These new updates are coming to IBM Cloud Pak for Data and Cloud Pak for Automation.

These updates are going to enable businesses to streamline everything from software provisioning and patching to data discovery and document processing across expanding hybrid cloud environments, enabling employees to focus on higher-value work.

The brand new updates integrate data and AI capabilities that run on Red Hat OpenShift and are designed to better manage and automate data-intensive processes. These updates are combining the intelligence of Watson AI in hybrid cloud environments.

“Cloud Pak offerings are integrated with AI and give companies a consistent experience from Pak to Pak,” said Michael Gilfix, Vice President, Chief Product Officer, Cloud Paks, IBM. “And because they run on Red Hat OpenShift, clients can deploy and manage them on any cloud environment, be it on-premises, and/or public cloud. With today's announcements, we're driving automation and data management capabilities even farther across the enterprise.”

IBM has also announced the expansion of its growing hybrid cloud ecosystem. Cloud Pak for Data is now available on Tech Data’s Stream One Marketplace and even on the Red Hat Marketplace.
