Power Systems for cloud comes with integrated OpenStack-based cloud management and elastic consumption models, allowing for the transformation of IT infrastructure to a local cloud for AIX, IBM, and Linux. It also gives quick-and-easy access to computer services in the IBM Cloud.
IBM zSystems Operational Insights is the company’s new SaaS-based solution that offers analytical insight on cloud operations, which helps to promote a more efficient and performance-driven environment. IBM claims that this means better business and application decisions based on trends and embedded expertise on performance data via a handy GUI interface/dashboard. In addition, the new IBM Common Data Provider allows for the near real-time and efficient consumption of operational data by the clients’ cloud or local enterprise operational analytics platform.
IBM’s new Spectrum Copy Data Management and Protect solution promotes operational and development agility and efficiency for both new and traditional applications. It does this by offering detailed and efficient management of data copies. Moreover, IBM indicates that it has added cloud object-storage options to its hybrid-cloud solution integration, which can be used during hybrid cloud deployments.
