Banco Sabadell and TSB sign cloud services deal with IBM

Banco Sabadell has signed a ten-year deal with IBM to advance its hybrid cloud strategy, while UK subsidiary TSB contracts with Big Blue to rebuild its technological infrastructure after last year's disastrous IT meltdown.For Sabadell, the deal is intended to simplify the Spanish bank's dispersed technological infrastructure so that it can move and manage data, services and workflows across multiple clouds, overcoming the traditional friction between applications and infrastructure.This agreement with IBM helps enable us to advance into the modernisation and transformation of our technology infrastructure and in the simplification of our operational model," says Miguel Montes, Banco Sabadell chief operations and peopleoOfficer. "With this, we are not only continuing to increase our resilience, security and scalability capabilities, but we can also adopt key elements of the new technology paradigm like cloud, the intense use of data and artificial intelligence.The bank will utilise Red Hat OpenShift technology, together with IBM Services, in order to deploy on-container architecture and a host of new cloud-native applications.
