Ransomware Attacks Are Rising, Prompting Proactive Detection
Detecting ransomware attacks is often a delicate dance involving customers, IT organizations, and technical partners. It’s a never-ending, software-based effort to find attacks quickly – with the goal of reducing the time between the attack itself and the response to limit the damage.

IBM Cybersecurity Software Protects Healthcare Data from Ransomware Attacks
Cybersecurity, to protect against ransomware and cyberattacks, is very much on the minds of CXOs and business executives. It is a top priority – and a major cause of worry – for businesses around the world, given that attacks designed to slow or stop business workflows can go undetected for weeks or months. Without detection, the damage to data continues to grow, with ransom demands as high as the millions of dollars ($USD).

IBM Spectrum Fusion
At the beginning of March, IBM announced its latest version of IBM Spectrum Fusion storage-management software, addressing a blended environment of containers, distributed data and Kubernetes orchestration – and leveraging the growing customer trend toward managing data across hybrid clouds and software-defined storage (SDS). The new Spectrum Fusion release consistently manages data – file data and object data – across on-premises data centers, the edge, and the hybrid cloud.

VMware Multi-Cloud Management
Finally, the rubber is meeting the road – and customers who are migrating enterprise applications to the Cloud are having a hard time deciding where to deploy them. Instead of selecting just one cloud service provider (CSP), large enterprises are likely to choose several of them, due to application requirements, data locality, regulations, and geographic location.
Enterprises accelerated their cloud migrations in 2021, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the move to remote offices and work-from-home (WFH). Now, many customers are struggling to blend two distinct computing styles: on-premises enterprise applications and cloud-native applications based on Kubernetes and containers.

IBM Power10 Systems
When IBM rolled out its line of Power7 systems in 2008, it might have been difficult to imagine what Power systems would become in 2022 – or to know whether there would be a Power10 processor at all.
On Sept. 8, 2021, those questions were answered. The 7nm IBM Power10 processor was described at the Hot Chips conference, highlighting its on-chip AI inference engines.

IBM Launches Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) for Hybrid Cloud Deployments
The “as-a-service” model of delivering storage capability for the hybrid cloud is becoming more widely adopted as the world works to move beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Storage delivered as a service really is the cloud expression of distributed storage, allowing customers to pull together data from separate “data hubs” as logical resources for the hybrid cloud.
