IBM will be first VMware partner to combine
consulting expertise and new jointly engineered cloud solutions for
clients running mission-critical workloads in VMware-based
environments
VMware Explore US 2022 – VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW) and IBM
(NYSE: IBM) today announced at VMware Explore 2022 an expanded
partnership to help global clients and partners modernize
mission-critical workloads and expedite time-to-value in hybrid
cloud environments. The expanded relationship includes IBM
Consulting as a VMware GSI partner, the companies’ intent to
deliver new jointly engineered IBM and VMware Cloud solutions, and
joint development and go to market. Together, IBM and VMware are
planning to help clients in regulated industries such as financial
services, healthcare and public sector address the cost,
complexity, and risk of migrating and modernizing mission-critical
workloads in the cloud.
Companies, including those in regulated industries, are looking
to modernize core business workloads to create better experiences
for their clients and comply with industry regulations. Further,
the current economic climate makes refactoring applications for
cloud unrealistic for many organizations, driving increased
emphasis on a more agile modernization strategy. The planned IBM
and VMware offerings are intended to increase choice and
flexibility for companies to execute their digital transformation
strategies.
“In today’s market, organizations want to modernize and
transform operations quickly. But modernization and innovation
cannot come at the cost of security and trust built with clients,”
said Howard Boville, Head of IBM Cloud Platform. “Together, IBM and
VMware are supporting our mutual clients in regulated industries by
offering something no two other companies are delivering – to more
easily leverage hybrid cloud services securely – wherever and
however they wish to run them.”
“With IBM and VMware, our customers get a combination of
innovation and consulting experience based on decades of close
collaboration and experience in meeting the business challenges of
thousands of customers around the world,” said Mark Lohmeyer,
Senior Vice President and General Manager, cloud infrastructure
business group, VMware. “This ongoing collaboration will enable us
to better streamline the user experience for our mutual enterprise
customers looking to run VMware mission critical workloads that
require higher levels of security, resiliency and compliance
support in financial services and regulated industries.”
Ecosystem partnerships such as the one between IBM and VMware
are critical to helping some of the world’s most influential
companies modernize their workloads with a focus on security and
efficiency, while providing choice in how to deploy and manage
them. Today's news builds on the companies’ longstanding
relationship, having collaborated over the past 20 years to help
clients realize their technology goals.
The companies’ expanded partnership includes:
- IBM Consulting named Global Systems Integrator (GSI) for
VMware – As part of the expanded partnership, IBM
Consulting is now a GSI Partner for VMware to help clients
accelerate their business transformation and hybrid cloud journeys.
IBM Consulting will provide services to migrate, modernize and
manage clients’ most important workloads across any hybrid,
multi-cloud environment in an open, more secured way. This is
critical for clients who are running applications across more than
one cloud and are looking for the deep skills and expertise
required to help with the security, management and reliability
needed in these environments.
- Expansion of VMware and IBM Joint Innovation Fund –
Since launching the IBM and VMware Joint Innovation Lab in 2018, 20
hybrid cloud and AI-focused projects have been completed to extend
the capabilities of IBM Cloud and address client needs for
mission-critical VMware workloads. For example, the creation of a
VMware-enabled reference architecture was developed and integrated
into IBM Cloud for Financial Services offerings. The Lab brings
together engineering, sales, marketing and enablement capabilities
from both companies and is a co-innovation engine for solving
client problems. The new agreement will expand the Lab’s innovation
pipeline for another three years with funding for the development
of joint products and solutions.
- Availability of IBM Cloud Satellite wherever VMware
Applications run – IBM and VMware are collaborating to enable
IBM Cloud Satellite for VMware. For workloads that need to remain
on-premises, IBM Cloud Satellite now supports VMware workloads in
any environment where they run, bringing the enhanced security and
open innovation of IBM Cloud services to the client’s datacenter.
IBM Cloud Satellite brings a secured and unified layer of cloud
services for clients, in any environment.
