A recent IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) study that included responses from over 5,000 executives globally across industries found that the adoption of hybrid cloud – the combination of public clouds, private clouds, and on-premises IT – is expected to grow by 47% in the next three years.
The study also found that the average organisation will be using six hybrid clouds.
"In addition to recent changes that include new programs, additional funding, and a simplified ecosystem approach, IBM's Hybrid Cloud Build Team demonstrates a commitment to and investment in our ecosystem partners like never before," said Willie M. Tejada, IBM Chief Developer Advocate and GM ISV/Build Ecosystem.
"This elite group of hybrid cloud specialists helps partners overcome obstacles to modernize and migrate client cloud workloads while infusing AI across platforms and providers.
“Numerous partners have told us that the team's work has proven advantageous to their clients and has been a catalyst in expanding IBM's Hybrid Cloud Ecosystem."
With expertise in Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, AWS and many more environments, the IBM Hybrid Cloud Build Team helps its ecosystem partners revamp workloads across all cloud platforms and providers while infusing new technologies like AI, 5G, Kubernetes, blockchain, and edge to optimize business operations and improve client outcomes.
This process includes reviewing the use of IBM hybrid cloud software, built on Red Hat OpenShift and designed to run anywhere – on-premises, at the edge, and on any cloud, according to the company.
"Our goal is to continually improve services and products to help clients derive the potential of digital transformation and open hybrid cloud," said Sudhir Chaturvedi, President-Sales and Executive Board Member, LTI.
"IBM's investment in the Hybrid Cloud Build Team, combined with LTI's domain expertise and best-in-class automation and integration capabilities, will bring immense value to our joint customers."
