IBM is announcing a significant stride in its bid to be the best cloud company with a $500 million services contract today with Anthem.
Under the deal, IBM will build a hybrid cloud environment for Anthem, transforming that company’s information technology infrastructure. IBM recently formed its IBM Cloud business unit, bringing together a team of services, software, development, and research initiatives to further fuel IBM’s momentum in this market and accelerate new innovations into the marketplace.
Cloud computing has transformed IT infrastructure, and many companies are using a hybrid of internal computing resources in their own data centers, as well as outsourced computing resources in a “cloud” or web-connected data center owned by somebody else.
