IBM Cybersecurity Software Protects Healthcare Data from Ransomware Attacks
Cybersecurity, to protect against ransomware and cyberattacks, is very much on the minds of CXOs and business executives. It is a top priority – and a major cause of worry – for businesses around the world, given that attacks designed to slow or stop business workflows can go undetected for weeks or months. Without detection, the damage to data continues to grow, with ransom demands as high as the millions of dollars ($USD).

IBM Expands its (Hybrid Cloud + AI) Strategy at THINK
Research Note: After two years of virtual conferences, this year’s IBM’s annual THINK conference was a little bit different. This time, “Digital THINK” was broadcast in real time on the ibm.com public website – and an in-person event was held in Boston (May 10 - May 11, 2022).

IBM z16 – A Modern Mainframe for a New Business Era
By Cal Braunstein and Jean Bozman
IBM’s z16 system provides a new path for customers to “meet the moment” in this New Normal business environment.
In a world that is clearly showing the strain of supply-chain delays affecting shipments of server systems, the IBM z16 is a highly scalable platform that can consolidate and run – and secure – the rapidly growing workloads being generated across an enterprise’s business units.

IBM Spectrum Fusion
At the beginning of March, IBM announced its latest version of IBM Spectrum Fusion storage-management software, addressing a blended environment of containers, distributed data and Kubernetes orchestration – and leveraging the growing customer trend toward managing data across hybrid clouds and software-defined storage (SDS). The new Spectrum Fusion release consistently manages data – file data and object data – across on-premises data centers, the edge, and the hybrid cloud.

VMware Multi-Cloud Management
Finally, the rubber is meeting the road – and customers who are migrating enterprise applications to the Cloud are having a hard time deciding where to deploy them. Instead of selecting just one cloud service provider (CSP), large enterprises are likely to choose several of them, due to application requirements, data locality, regulations, and geographic location.
Enterprises accelerated their cloud migrations in 2021, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the move to remote offices and work-from-home (WFH). Now, many customers are struggling to blend two distinct computing styles: on-premises enterprise applications and cloud-native applications based on Kubernetes and containers.

IBM Power10 Systems
When IBM rolled out its line of Power7 systems in 2008, it might have been difficult to imagine what Power systems would become in 2022 – or to know whether there would be a Power10 processor at all.
On Sept. 8, 2021, those questions were answered. The 7nm IBM Power10 processor was described at the Hot Chips conference, highlighting its on-chip AI inference engines.

IBM Launches Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) for Hybrid Cloud Deployments
The “as-a-service” model of delivering storage capability for the hybrid cloud is becoming more widely adopted as the world works to move beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Storage delivered as a service really is the cloud expression of distributed storage, allowing customers to pull together data from separate “data hubs” as logical resources for the hybrid cloud.

IBM Cloud Code Engine Accelerates Customers’ Move to the IBM Cloud
By Jean S. Bozman
IBM is looking to accelerate the migration of application code – no matter how it was developed – by speeding its delivery into the IBM Cloud.
The IBM Cloud Code Engine offer, announced last fall, is an open-source-based runtime environment that supports rapid deployment onto the IBM Cloud. It became generally available this spring (March, 2021).
IBM Cloud Code Engine is designed to allow developers to rapidly deploy both existing applications and new applications into the IBM Cloud.
