Ltd, in association with IBM and Redington India Ltd jointly introduced the new features of IBM Lotus Domino 9, IBM Connections and IBM Smartcloud iNotes to an audience of about 100+ from the IT and business divisions of various leading Manufacturing and Corporate companies from across Chennai.
There were many topics covered during the workshop. The presenters from IBM Mr. Devang Desai and Mr. Fernando Salazar did an outstanding job of sharing their expertise and while presenting they said.. “IBM with over 20 years of experience managing mission-critical applications for enterprises, it’s not surprising that IBM launched the industry’s first set of enterprise-grade cloud services. Today, its cloud services portfolio, IBM SmartCloud, is the broadest in the industry. IBM continues to invest in its enterprise cloud vision, with tightly integrated services that span infrastructure, platform, and software layers; and that support private, public, and hybrid cloud environments.
IBM offers the breadth of solutions that enterprises need to maximize the benefit from the cloud, regardless of their point of entry. The company’s robust cloud infrastructure solution, SmartCloud Enterprise, delivers on the promise of scalability, budget-friendliness, and rapid, on-demand deployment of workloads. Bolstered by high availability, strong security, and ease of management, these features satisfy most enterprise short-term needs for efficiency and nimbleness. At the same time, IBM solutions are designed to support broader IT and business requirements. The IBM SmartCloud portfolio offers the industry’s first view of a robust, comprehensive virtual IT infrastructure; one in which workloads can be deployed, integrated, and managed consistently, securely, and efficiently—regardless
of infrastructure environment. The solution portfolio not only offers enterprises a solid reason to entrust their critical workloads to the cloud today, but it offers a blueprint for strategic IT growth in the future.”
Closing the session and giving his thank you address to the senior ranks from various clients who had taken their time of to see the unveiling of state of the ART technology by IBM Mr. Purusothaman – Head Sales – Sniper Systems & Solutions said. “In conference rooms worldwide, enterprise IT departments are evaluating entry into ‘the cloud’. Armed with media reports and marketing materials, they are considering questions like, “Is the cloud appropriate for critical workloads? Will the cloud really save time and money? Does the cloud pose a security risk?” There’s only one problem with such due diligence: there’s no such thing as ‘the cloud’. Instead, there are multiple clouds, with different configurations, offered by different providers and representing different degrees of benefit and risk. As a result, enterprises should think of the cloud not in terms of a “yes/no” decision, but as a “how, when, and which” decision. They need to understand How specific IT challenges can be met by specific cloud-based options. They need to consider when and in what order to migrate workloads and processes to a cloud environment. And they need to carefully evaluate which provider offers the most robust and flexible cloud portfolio to meet current and long-term needs. In today’s session we look at various cloud models, and assess their suitability to solve IT challenges. We provide recommendations on what to look for in a cloud provider.”
