New cloud storage software: IBM inventors pave their way.
This time around, the Cloud
Computing ecosystem generates lots of initiatives in terms of research;
applications; adoptions and technologies. But it also remains the following concerns:
security, reliability and service continuity.
At IBM for instance, the stake is to develop a new cloud storage software
that can provide a simple interface for users to dynamically migrate data across multiple clouds, while
keeping it confidential and secure.
Therefore Connectikpeople can observe that, IBM’s patent-pending invention aims
to overcome concerns about data resiliency, security and service continuity via
an innovative technique which can stores and moves data across multiple clouds.
According to IBM, the method employs a “cloud-of-clouds” approach that
invokes the resilience of separate clouds to offer stronger protection against
service outages and
data loss.
In this momentum, Connectikpeople has also captured this software toolkit, which can enable storage systems to access and use third-party private
and/or public clouds for data migration, backup or file sharing.
Connectikpeople recalls that, this technology was demonstrated in June at
the IBM Edge 2013 conference in Las Vegas in conjunction with the IBM Storwize
platform and is available for early trial testing.
IBM Cloud Computing
IBM is the global leader in cloud with an unmatched portfolio of open cloud
solutions that help clients build, rent or tap into cloud capabilities. No
other company has the ability to bring together unique industry knowledge and
unmatched cloud capabilities, that have already helped more than 20,000 clients
around the world. Today, IBM has more than 100 cloud SaaS solutions, 37,000
experts with deep industry knowledge helping clients transform and a network of
more than 25 global cloud delivery centers. Since 2007, IBM has invested more
than $6 billion in acquisitions to accelerate its cloud initiatives.
Most recently IBM acquired SoftLayer with more than 21,000 clients in 140
countries to further build out its IaaS portfolio with an easy and secure on
ramp to cloud integrating IBM SmartCloud.
