IBM Cloud vs. AWS Cloud

Is that the right way to look at how smaller cloud providers augment AWS?

Since AWS isn’t sponsoring AWS Every Day, our friends at IBM have partnered to sponsor some content. How do you leverage smaller cloud providers in your AWS journey? Last week we talked about Google Cloud’s BigQuery Omni, which runs on AWS infrastructure. Today, we are looking at IBM Cloud. IBM Cloud is built to cater to large enterprises. It’s less about putting a credit card against an account and more about the problematic digital transformation journey.

Use Cases

Cloud Paks

IBM has been working hard to repackage its most popular software for the cloud. Like the Google Cloud strategy of meeting customers on their preferred cloud, IBM Cloud Paks run on AWS. I found the Data Cloud Pak an interesting story.

AI

IBM Watson and all. IBM actually has some chops around AI.

Financial Services Cloud

Yesterday, we talked about how AWS took the bits and pieces of its cloud to build a Health Data Lake offer. A data lake dedicated to Healthcare data. IBM Cloud offers a solution tailored to Financial Services. It purportedly has features for Financial Service compliance and reporting built-in.
