The Cloud…  Everyone has gone or is going there…  Right?

But what type of Cloud?  Public?  Private?  Which is right for you?

What about your “legacy” applications, those that you have relied upon for years, running on your own infrastructure.  How will you integrate them into whatever Cloud strategy you desire?

How do you bring all of this together while minimizing disruption, protecting your investments, and providing a path to new technologies?  What impact does this have on Application Modernization?

Enter the Hybrid Cloud – an environment which enables interaction with on-premises applications, private cloud, and public cloud services.  Hybrid Cloud can provide the seamless movement of transactions between systems, optimizing data processing, minimizing costs, and delivering greater flexibility to change as your business evolves.

How does IBM do this?  Through IBM Cloud Private.
