The partnership supports clients' adoption of hybrid cloud environment.
CSC and IBM have announced a collaboration in which IBM will provide its cloud managed services for z Systems — IBM Cloud for z — and associated mainframe hardware, software, monitoring, and governance support to CSC clients who are moving to the cloud and want a more secure, scalable, flexible information technology infrastructure at significantly reduced operational costs.
The expanded alliance further advances CSC's vision of the "Service-Enabled Enterprise" and IBM's "as-a-service" strategy, both designed to increase client choice and innovation in adopting emerging technologies. The as-a-service strategy provides consumption-based pricing for the IBM z Systems environment to give clients' greater capital investment flexibility.
