IBM TechXchange: Storage for AI, Hybrid Cloud & Cyber Resiliency

Join us at IBM TechXchange: Storage for AI, Hybrid Cloud & Cyber Resiliency

Join us to learn about IBM Storage solutions for Hybrid-Cloud, Lakehouse and affordable cyber recovery, data protection solutions, so you can bring enterprise capabilities to your hybrid-cloud workloads and recover in hours, not days.

• You might have equipped your OpenShift cluster with home-grown NFS or other storage solutions that turn out to not satisfy production-level enterprise container storage requirements
• Generative AI, powered by foundation models has spurred an AI revolution that is further empowered by the democratization of data with the Lakehouse innovation
• Will data backups save you from ransomware? Think again. Malicious actors targeted backups in at least 93% of attacks in 2022, and they successfully penetrated backup repositories in 75% of attacks. Organizations of all sizes need to take action to protect their data with storage capabilities tailor-made for cyber attacks.
