IBM Extends Cloud Reach to Include Integration

Avatar photoBy: Mike Vizard on February 14, 2019 1 Comment

At the IBM Think 2019 conference this week, IBM unfurled an IBM Cloud Integration Platform that pulls together a range of tools in a single development platform that the company promises will reduce the amount of time it takes to deploy applications by making it easier to reuse integration code.

Hillery Hunter, vice president and CTO for IBM Cloud Infrastructure, said by bringing all of its primary integration tools into a single cloud platform, IBM is effectively making an integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) environment available for the first time.

IBM this week also formally rolled out IBM Services for Multicloud Management, a portal through which multiple clouds can be managed using software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications developed by ServiceNow, along with a set of IBM Services for Cloud Strategy and Design through which IBM will advise clients on how to architect the right holistic cloud strategy. The premise of both those services is that organizations soon will be rightsizing workloads to run on whatever cloud or on-premises IT platform that best suits them. The portal developed with ServiceNow provides access to dashboards and analytics designed to enable IT organizations to analyze cloud spend and manage workloads deployed on any platform, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.

IBM is also extending the cloud services it provides to include the IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Service, which makes use of IBM LinuxONE mainframes to provide encryption key management built on the only FIPS 140-2 level 4-based technology.

Hunter said IBM’s approach assumes organizations have already bought into best DevOps practices and API management to provide the means through which multiple clouds will be managed. The challenge many of those organizations are now wrestling with is implementing processes that determine where a workload not only should be developed and deployed but also moved as its characteristics evolve. To provide that analytics, IBM is employing machine learning algorithms running on distributed instances of Kubernetes to continuously track changes and updates to cloud platforms, said Hunter.

IBM previously outlined a strategy under which it is trying to meld DevOps and ITIL-based processes to make it easier to manage workloads running on any cloud or on-premises IT environment. While the growth of cloud computing continues at an exponential rate, IBM executives this week took pains to remind conference attendees that 80 percent of enterprise-class workloads still run in on on-premises IT environment. In fact, IBM’s rationalization for spending $34 billion to acquire Red Hat is based on that fact. However, while many workloads will continue to run on-premises, IBM is clearly making a case for centralizing the management of all those platforms on IBM Cloud.

It most likely will take the better part of the next decade to determine where different types of applications may wind up running. Predictions concerning the percentage of application workloads that will run in the cloud continues to be one of the most hotly debated topics in the IT industry. Whatever the outcome, however, it’s 100 percent certain more than one cloud platform will be involved.
