Migrating to IBM Cloud
IBM announced on the 18th that it has signed a multi-year strategic partnership with AT&T.
AT&T Business aims to provide better services to corporate customers through this agreement with IBM.
AT&T Communications plans to leverage IBM's technology to modernize its internal software applications for AT&T Business Solutions and migrate them to the IBM Cloud.
IBM will also provide the infrastructure to support AT&T Business's applications. AT&T Business will use Red Hat's open-source platform to manage workloads and applications.
IBM will appoint AT&T Business as its primary software-defined networking (SDN) provider. AT&T Business is helping IBM innovate its networking solutions by applying cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, edge computing, IoT, and multi-cloud capabilities powered by Red Hat.
“AT&T Business is constantly evolving to better serve our global enterprise customers by securely delivering the digital capabilities they demand,” said Thaddeus Arroyo, CEO of AT&T Business.
“This includes optimizing our core business and modernizing our internal business applications to accelerate innovation,” he continued. “Through our collaboration with IBM, AT&T Business is adopting open and flexible cloud technologies that will ultimately help accelerate our business leadership.”
IBM will develop operational applications and provide cloud services for AT&T Business. Through this, IBM plans to manage AT&T Communications' overall IT infrastructure, including on-premises and off-premises, as well as private and public clouds. AT&T Business will build and implement internal applications while delivering innovative new services.
The two companies also plan to collaborate on edge computing platforms, enabling enterprise customers to leverage the powerful 5G network speeds of internet-connected devices and sensors at the network edge.
Going forward, enterprise customers can expect to exchange data at high speeds between multiple clouds and countless edge devices, leveraging the enhanced reliability and security, reduced latency, and broad bandwidth of 5G.
This ultimately enables businesses to transform their customers' user experiences while optimizing processes across industries, from retail to financial services, from transportation to manufacturing and healthcare.
As part of this partnership, AT&T Business, which prioritizes leveraging open source technologies, will continue to use Red Hat's open source platform to manage tasks associated with its internal applications. IBM's acquisition of Red Hat will give AT&T Business greater access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift platforms.
“The agreement we announced today builds on IBM’s 20-year partnership with AT&T and is a significant step forward,” said Arvind Krishna, senior vice president, IBM Cloud and Cognitive Software. “This agreement gives AT&T Business the flexibility to quickly deliver innovative services to IBM and its enterprise customers.”
“We are proud to partner with AT&T Business to offer the scale and performance of a global cloud data center, providing a common environment that allows customers to deploy their cloud solutions once and leverage them more quickly and flexibly wherever they need to,” he continued.

Ixia Expands Hybrid Network Collaboration with Symantec
As enterprises migrate network resources to the cloud, they frequently experience a lack of visibility into cloud assets. Gartner noted in August of last year that when IT operations organizations adopt the cloud, they lose equal access to the infrastructure and networks that form the foundation of services, which can create monitoring challenges. In response, Keysight Ixia's Solutions Division is expanding its collaboration with Symantec to improve hybrid network security. Through the integration of Ixia's cloud solution CloudLens and Symantec Security Analytics, a threat detection and forensics solution, Symantec customers can now secure real-time visibility into their hybrid cloud environments.

MEC technology, the key to implementing ultra-low latency 5G smart factories
With the commercialization of 5G network services, rapid processing of large-scale data is becoming increasingly demanded. However, cloud computing alone has limitations in handling large volumes of data concentrated in data centers. Consequently, a movement has begun to process data at the point where it is generated. MEC technology is a distributed cloud technology designed to provide consumer-customized services based on fast and stable communication environments at locations physically close to wireless base stations. MEC minimizes congestion in telecommunications operators' mobile core networks and reduces network expansion costs, thereby improving service quality. Additionally, it provides service providers with opportunities to create new local services and expand their business areas.
