New IBM Network Innovation Centers Help Clients Apply Hybrid IT Solutions To Networks
The labs, located in France and Texas, allow clients to evaluate, experience, test software defined networking, virtualization, automation technologies for efficiency, agility, resiliency.
IBM has announced two Network Innovation Centers, where clients can explore software defined networking, virtualization and analytics-driven automation technologies and services for their data and communications networks.
The explosive growth of data driven by online transactions, mobile apps, social media and the Internet of Things is already compelling many clients to move their computing and storage systems to a cloud model for greater resiliency, more agility, higher performance and lower costs. These same data-intensive conditions are putting pressure on networking systems, requiring the integration of cloud technologies and solutions to provide those same benefits in hybrid IT network environments.
