A veteran leader at IBM with more than 37 years of experience at the company, John Teltsch
serves as general manager of IBM’s Global Business Partners. In this role, John Teltsch works with the company’s business partners on a variety of services related to the cloud, which continues to rapidly evolve. Following are a few of the latest trends in cloud technology.
-Multi-cloud strategies. Instead of placing all their applications in one cloud provider, businesses are placing them in multiple public clouds. This multi-cloud strategy allows them to avoid being locked in with any single vendor.
-Increased storage. Cloud-based services have become such a mainstream way of doing business that storage providers are creating more and bigger data storage centers. To stay ahead of the curve, businesses should know how to leverage the additional storage to accomplish their goals. For instance, small businesses can find a custom storage space that suits their needs, and large businesses that employ big data can find storage centers capable of storing large data sets.
-Increased need for security. With cyber threats a growing concern, businesses need to take additional precautions to protect their sensitive data. To thwart security threats, businesses without the resources to employ full security measures may want to contract cloud-based managed security service providers, who can provide stronger security services to protect their data.
