ARMONK, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE:
IBM) today announced that the IBM public cloud has been named a
2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for cloud
infrastructure as a service.
The Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice Distinction is based
on feedback and ratings from end-user professionals who have
experience purchasing, implementing and using cloud infrastructure
as a service, worldwide. Gartner defines cloud infrastructure as a
service as a standardized, highly automated offering, where compute
resources, complemented by storage and networking capabilities, are
owned by a service provider and offered to the customer on demand.
The resources are scalable and elastic in near real time, and
metered by use. Self-service interfaces are exposed directly to the
customer, including a web-based UI and an API. The resources may be
single-tenant or multitenant, and hosted by the service provider or
on-premises in the customer's data center. Thus, this market covers
both public and private cloud IaaS offerings.
Enterprises are operating in a hybrid multicloud landscape, and
they will find themselves at different points on this spectrum for
the next several years as they migrate, modernize, and build new
applications to the cloud. Public cloud plays a critical role in
this hybrid architecture because of the efficiency, scale and
access to high value services it provides for even the most complex
workloads.
The IBM public cloud delivers the capabilities required by the
world's largest and most complex enterprises, including market
leading security, data and app protection; open source innovation;
and enterprise-grade capabilities for the most robust
workloads.
"Building on thousands of engagements with clients from every
industry, IBM continues to enhance our public cloud to meet the
requirements of clients in even the most heavily regulated
environments," said Harish Grama, General Manager, IBM Public
Cloud. "Enterprises from all over the world and from every
industry are entrusting their business to the IBM public cloud. I
believe being named a 2019 Customers' Choice for cloud
infrastructure as a service demonstrates the important role IBM
Cloud is playing in accelerating the cloud journey, regardless of
where clients are starting."
