Companies with limited budgets are using IBM Cloud to run complex and mission-critical workloads to transform and develop their businesses with the confidence to take their teams forward and upward for many years to come.
IBM Cloud® now has POWER SYSTEMS
Keep the performance and reliability of your AIX, IBM-i, and Linux operations in the public cloud, and get the ability to quickly and easily host Power Systems apps in the Public Cloud from a hybrid cloud environment.
SAP on IBM Cloud
IBM is a Global Platinum Partner with more than 46 years of SAP experience. As one of SAP’s most awarded associates, IBM Cloud boasts some of the highest performing servers in the cloud and shadows the competition by holding four out of the top five SAP benchmark spots.
WHY SAP on IBM CLOUD?
IBM has decades of experience partnering with SAP, first in its services business, then in the IBM Db2, IBM Z and IBM Power Systems Group, and most recently with IBM Cloud. There are two useful ways to look at IBM Cloud for SAP: the all-important performance specs and the cloud-native vision. This IDC whitepaper discusses the Business Benefits Possible by Choosing the Right Cloud Provider to Run SAP Workloads (sponsored by IBM.)
