NTT DATA, a trusted global innovator of business and technology services, have expanded their partnership with IBM, announcing the launch of SimpliZCloud, a fully managed cloud service built on IBM LinuxONE.
The companies say the service is designed to support the infrastructure needs of critical workloads such as those in financial services organisations including core banking applications, lending and risk management applications with a combination of advanced performance, high availability, and unmatched security.
The service also aims to offer the opportunity to optimise infrastructure investments and on-going costs by consolidating resources and spends, especially enterprise software licence costs.
SimpliZCloud is built on a secure, scalable, and integrated architecture that delivers dedicated compute and storage resources, powered by Software Defined Networking (SDN), note the firms.
Avinash Joshi, CEO of India, comments: “With SimpliZCloud, enterprises, especially financial institutions now, have the power to make a generational shift in their cloud transformation journey. Critical business applications, especially those infused with AI and ML will now have the infrastructure to support performance far ahead of the traditional x86 architectures all in a fully managed, as-a-service model. This launch represents our continued commitment to supporting our clients’ ambitions for innovation and digital transformation.”
Viswanath Ramaswamy, vice president, Technology, IBM India and South Asia, states: “By bringing SimpliZCloud to modern enterprises, we are continuing our commitment to help them adopt a hybrid-by-design approach. With SimpliZCloud, financial institutions can leverage a highly secure, high-performance platform and robust infrastructure to harness the benefits of AI and hybrid cloud to manage their evolving applications and workloads.”
