By | Aug 8, 2019

Microsoft has launched a new report – IoT Signals – that provides an industry pulse on the state of IoT adoption to help inform how the company can better serve its partners and customers, as well as help business leaders in development of their own IoT strategies. Microsoft surveyed more than 3,000 IoT decision-makers in enterprise organizations to give the industry a holistic, market-level view of the IoT ecosystem, including adoption rates, related technology trends, challenges and benefits of IoT.

IBM Transforms its Software to be Cloud-Native and Run on Any Cloud with Red Hat

By | Aug 6, 2019

IBM announced that it has transformed its software portfolio to be cloud-native and optimized it to run on Red Hat OpenShift. Enterprises can now build mission-critical applications once and run them on all leading public clouds, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Alibaba and IBM Cloud and on private clouds.

The new cloud-native capabilities will be delivered as pre-integrated solutions called IBM Cloud Paks. The IBM-certified and containerized software will provide a common operating model and common set of services – including identity management, security, monitoring and logging – and are designed to improve visibility and control across clouds together with a unified and intuitive dashboard.

‘IBM – Red Hat: I Would Not Think of It as A Merger or An Integration’

By | Aug 4, 2019

IBM completed its $34 billion acquisition of Red Hat on 10 July, 2019. While IBM says it will let Red Hat operate autonomously and independently, the world wondered what impact this mega acquisition would have on customers who are increasingly looking to deploy hybrid cloud solutions.

DIGITAL CREED met John C.P. Allessio, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Global Services, Red Hat a few days later.

In this interview, you will learn what the two companies stand to gain from each other through this partnership. And in our opinion, it has a lot to do with hybrid clouds, Red Hat Open Shift, and the downstream innovation from the open source community.

Tweet chat on Digital Transformation – July 24

By | Jul 23, 2019

Just 60 companies from the Fortune 500 list of 1955 continue to remain on that list today. We live in an age where the lifespan of a corporation is a few years, not decades. But why did this happen? And where did those 440 companies go? These companies belonged to industries that faced disruption. New technologies and new business models came along, but the 440 organisations did not pay serious attention and did not transform. They did not adapt and evolve — so they became extinct. Like birds and animals, businesses of all sizes must look out for disruption, adapt, and evolve. But how should they do this?

This will be the topic for discussion during a Tweet chat conducted by ESDS, a leading provider of Managed Data Center and Cloud Hosting Services.
