IBM, Airtel Team Up for Secure Edge Cloud Services in India
Read MoreHide Full Article
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM - Free Report) recently inked an agreement with Bharti Airtel for an undisclosed amount to deploy an edge computing platform in India. This is likely to extend the secured cloud services for business enterprises while improving their performance through reduced latency and higher data security features.
With more than 358 million subscribers, Airtel is a leading telecommunication services provider in the subcontinent. Its edge computing platform is likely to encompass 120 network data centers across 20 cities, offering innovative solutions securely at the edge to large enterprises across multiple industries, including manufacturing and automotive.
Leveraging a hybrid environment based on IBM Cloud Satellite and Red Hat OpenShift, the platform is widely expected to address the critical business needs of large enterprises with greater efficiency. This, in turn, is likely to enable the firms to seamlessly process a huge quantum of data on a real-time basis by harnessing Airtel's 5G connectivity and secured edge computing capabilities from IBM for superior performance.
IBM is poised to benefit from strong demand for hybrid cloud and AI, driving growth in Software and Consulting businesses. The company’s growth is expected to be driven primarily by analytics, cloud computing and security in the long haul. A combination of a better business mix, improving operating leverage through productivity gains and increased investment in growth opportunities will likely drive profitability.
IBM's research and development (R&D) initiatives set it apart from its peers. On an annual basis, the company invests around 7-8% on R&D for reaping high-growth and high-value opportunities. The acquisition of Red Hat has further bolstered the Open Hybrid Architecture Initiative of the company. More than 3,800 clients are utilizing Red Hat and IBM’s hybrid cloud platform. We remain optimistic regarding the improving utility of hybrid cloud services based on the architecture built by IBM and Red Hat.
