IBM and VMware announce new partnership to push hybrid cloud

LAS VEGAS — Users of VMware Inc.’s software-defined data centre stack will soon be able to push their workloads off-premises and onto IBM’s cloud network, comprised of 45 different data centres worldwide, the vendors announced on Monday.

VMware’s vSphere, NSX, and Virtual SAN will all now be supported to run on the bare metal servers on offer at IBM’s data centres. IBM says they will be automatically provisioned on-demand, so VMware focuses on end user productivity with Workspace ONE, Horizon updates

VMware and it announced a series of partnerships to support cloud workloads on an international scope. At VMWorld last year, it showcased its new capabilities to move legacy workloads to an off-premises location and maintain the same management capabilities as on-premises workloads.

IBM’s data centres originate from its acquisition of SoftLayer in 2013, a network its continued to build out since then, including new data centres in Canada.

When asked when the capabilities are available, Eschenbach says VMware’s workloads can be pushed out to IBM’s cloud right away.

LeBlanc says this is just the start of the partnership, and IBM and VMware will be working together more so in the future.
