IBM and AWS partner to innovate cloud computing and AI [Video]

Cloud innovation has always soared due to clever strategic partnerships that bridge technology gaps and combine cross-niche expertise. IBM Corp. and Amazon Web Services Inc. share one such alliance. As the IBM and AWS collaboration deepens, their combined savvy in cloud computing and AI promises to reshape how organizations manage data, enhance AI governance and optimize resources.

“An inflection point and acceleration happened when we decided together to launch OpenShift on AWS, which is a huge step forward in terms of trust and hybrid cloud and the fact that we both believe there’s a hybrid world in the future,” said Nick Otto (pictured, right), head of global strategic partnerships at IBM. “We’ve got our consulting practice growing every single quarter. We’ve got over 24,000 certifications now from an AWS perspective, and then it took that next rocket ship two years ago when we kicked off our software collaboration.”
