IBM scientists have developed a software toolkit, which enables storage systems to access and use third-party private and/or public clouds for data migration, backup or file sharing which is directly addressing cloud-adoption related concerns about security, reliability and vendor lock-in.
IBM inventors have developed new cloud storage software that provides a simple interface for clients to dynamically migrate data across multiple clouds, while keeping it confidential and secure.Today, clients across all industries, including banks, retailers and government, are embracing cloud computing to drive business innovation and growth, but underlying concerns about security, reliability and vendor lock-in have inhibited widespread cloud adoption…
IBM’s patent-pending invention overcomes concerns about data resiliency, security and service continuity via an innovative technique which seamlessly stores and moves data across multiple clouds. The method employs a ‘cloud-of-clouds’ approach that invokes the resilience of separate clouds to offer stronger protection against service outages and data loss than any single cloud can deliver…
