Summary

It’s no surprise that organizations are embracing hybrid cloud. When compared to a public cloud only approach hybrid cloud is more open and inclusive of multiple architectures. In a recent study sponsored by IBM it was found that a hybrid cloud approach delivers 2 1/2 times the value of a public only approach. But did you realize that by including IBM Z in your hybrid cloud you can increase that value by up to 5 times?

Attend this webinar to find out more as we show you:

  • Business acceleration – by increasing access to core business applications and data for broader enterprise use for AI, Analytics, and new customer centric applications.
  • Developer productivity – providing more cost-effective options to application modernization vs the application migration, emulation, and rewrite approach recommended by public cloud providers.
  • Infrastructure cost efficiency – leveraging the low TCO of IBM Z for workloads at enterprise scale
  • Key areas of differentiation for IBM Z – such as security and resiliency
