/PRNewswire/ -- Apptio, Inc., a leading provider of technology
business management (TBM) SaaS applications, and IBM
(NYSE: IBM), today announced a collaboration to help clients
improve hybrid cloud technology decision-making and drive adoption
of Red Hat OpenShift and IBM's open hybrid cloud
approach.
According to analyst firm IDC, "there is a need to support the
client journey to the cloud that can help map aligning the optimal
portfolio of cloud capabilities (e.g., private, public, hybrid)
needed to achieve business and IT objectives, offering different
pathways to the cloud for migration and modernization of
applications."1 To help inject flexibility and agility
into their operations, enterprises must determine which
applications and workloads should be migrated and how that may
impact the business. The collaboration will combine data-driven
insights from Apptio to help clients make informed migration
decisions and capitalize on the capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift
to run and manage applications in the computing environment that
best suits their business goals, including on-premises
infrastructure and across cloud destinations including IBM, AWS,
Azure and others.
"Many enterprises are going hybrid by leveraging both
on-premises and cloud services to satisfy their technology and
business needs," said Sunny Gupta,
CEO and Co-founder, Apptio. "IBM offers the only multi-cloud hybrid
approach to its customers resulting in a comprehensive and
compelling platform for managing their workloads in this hybrid
world."
As part of the relationship, Apptio, an IBM Business Partner
("partner"), and IBM will offer clients visibility, optimization
and migration capabilities for IBM Cloud with Red Hat
OpenShift through Apptio's financial decision engine, which cuts
across enterprise technology— from on-premises infrastructure and
cloud services to digital products such as ApptioOne and
Cloudability. Additionally, Apptio will use Red Hat OpenShift in
its portfolio of products, starting with Targetprocess, which runs
on IBM Cloud and is built to help enterprises accelerate business
agility. The combination of Apptio products with IBM AI Ops and IBM
Turbonomics Application Resource Management can also help to
provide clients with financial and utilization analysis of workload
placement.
"Apptio and IBM are united in our desire to help clients make
data-driven decisions about running their workloads in the optimal
hybrid cloud environment, whether in the cloud or on-premises,"
said Bob Lord, Senior Vice
President, Worldwide Ecosystems, IBM. "With the addition of Apptio
to our growing ecosystem of partners, we're able to combine
Apptio's financial analytics and decision support and IBM's open
hybrid cloud leadership to design an offering to deliver
unprecedented value to clients at all stages of their cloud
journeys."
IBM Global Business Services (GBS) will advise clients on their
hybrid cloud journey by providing end-to-end strategy, design, road
mapping and architectural services for clients using Apptio's
products. IBM will use Apptio's cloud financial management and
optimization products such as ApptioOne to manage technology spend
and consumption of internal IBM Cloud resources across its
enterprise
Apptio is part of IBM's partner ecosystem, an initiative to
support partners of all types – whether they build on,
service or resell IBM technologies and platforms – to help
clients manage and modernize workloads with Red Hat OpenShift for
any cloud environment, including IBM Cloud.
