Cloud Computing - IBM - Vendor Profile - Worldwide

This IBM Vendor Profile covers cloud computing & infrastructure, with sections on offerings, background, PAC’s stance, key figures, accounts, and strategy.

Key Offerings at a Glance

  • Hybrid multi-cloud stack: Red Hat OpenShift as the orchestration core.
  • IBM Cloud infrastructure for VPC, bare metal, containers, and Code Engine.
  • AI layer: watsonx (AI, data, governance) with evolving Granite models for enterprise-ready GenAI.
  • Distributed ops: IBM Cloud Satellite extends services on-prem and across third-party clouds.
  • Security posture: Hyper Protect Crypto Services (FIPS 140-2 L4, KYOK), Key Protect, and confidential computing.
  • Enterprise platforms: Power Virtual Server and zSystems modernization tooling.
  • Operations & FinOps: Instana, Turbonomic, plus Apptio for cost governance.
  • Consulting: cloud strategy, migration, and managed services, now reinforced by HashiCorp (Terraform, Vault).

Background & Momentum

IBM sharpened its focus via Red Hat (2019), the Kyndryl spin-off (2021), and acquisitions including Apptio (2023), StreamSets/webMethods (2024), and HashiCorp (2025). 2024 results: $62.8bn in revenue. This report shows a pivot to governed hybrid over hyperscale volume.

Strategy & POV

PAC sees strength in an open, governed hybrid approach: OpenShift + Satellite for portability, watsonx + Granite for AI with governance, and HashiCorp for automation and secrets management. Success hinges on reducing portfolio overlap and speeding time-to-value. This Vendor Profile highlights regulated industries, with named accounts across banking, insurance, the public sector, and telecom.
