Besides, the expanded offering also includes IBM’s flagship database Db2 Cloud Pak for Data as well as a portfolio of automation software including Apptio, Turbonomic, and Instana, and the IBM Security and Sustainability software portfolios — all built on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS. “The cloud-native software enables clients to deploy on AWS while flexible licensing, including SaaS and subscription, makes it easier for clients to purchase exactly how they want,” IBM said.
In addition to the software portfolio expansion, IBM is also launching 15 new consulting services designed specifically for AWS environments. “These new service offerings are aligned to client needs and demand, focused on data and application modernization, security services, and tailored industry-specific solutions — with generative AI capabilities included in select services,” the statement added.
Collaboration Takes Center Stage
The IBM and AWS collaboration underscores an emerging trend within the tech industry. As the demand for cloud solutions continues to grow, collaboration between major tech players is likely to become commonplace.
