Recovering the cloud

“Our clients are embracing a digitized world where applications need to be ‘always-on,’” Martin Jetter, SVP of Global Technology Services at IBM, said.

“As a cloud-native company, Sanovi will strengthen our resiliency portfolio to manage the broad range of applications, data, and IT systems of our clients balancing digital and hybrid cloud transformation with increased regulatory compliance.”

Chandra Sekhar Pulamarasetti, co-founder & CEO of Sanovi, added: “IBM’s technology leadership in hybrid cloud infrastructure and resiliency services makes it a clear choice to bring end-to-end services to our customers and transformational value to IBM’s existing client base.

“Together, we will provide next-generation resiliency solutions for robust hybrid cloud deployments across the globe.”

IBM plans to make Sanovi DRM available as a stand-alone software license, as well as available as part of a managed resiliency service.
