High Performance for Big Data

One of the key pillars of our VMware Cloud strategy is to form deep partnerships with major cloud providers to enable and streamline hybrid cloud adoption. Our partnership with IBM is a perfect example of this. Together we seamlessly integrate private and public cloud, and help lower the barriers to hybrid cloud adoption by delivering new solutions that help solve challenges such as workload portability, downtime, application dependency, network complexity and migration efficiency.

Background: A large estate of enterprise applications are file-based, that don’t have much of a choice but to run on expensive on-premises infrastructure. Migrating to cloud is hard, and often falls short of customers' high expectations around performance, reliability, compatibility, and integrated data management.

Moving to the cloud is no longer just an option, its becoming a necessity to balance costs and stay competitive with quicker speed to market. Moving workloads to cloud however, introduces many new challenges for companies when it comes to security, especially with regard to protecting critical data and policy management in the cloud.Join IBM Security’s Amanda Sherman, Cloud Security Services Offering Manager and Chuck DeLouis, Data Security Services Senior Offering Manager, as they map out the customer journey, dive deeper into some of the latest cloud security challenges and introduce IBM Security Services solutions that can help you transform your organization to cloud with confidence.

The issue of how to provide appropriate privacy protection for cloud computing is important, and as yet unresolved. In this paper we propose an approach in which procedural and technical solutions are co-designed to demonstrate accountability as a path forward to resolving jurisdictional privacy and security risks within the cloud.
