IBM’s recent acquisition of Turbonomic Inc. was testimony that today’s multicloud and hybrid IT environments demand AI-driven application management tools to manage these increasingly complex infrastructures. But there is another dimension to this story: IBM is moving boldly into the container-native storage lane, and the Turbonomic purchase will help navigate.
In the continued evolution of IBM’s portfolio following its purchase of Red Hat Inc. in 2018, the company recently announced new and updated storage solutions, including Spectrum Fusion, provider of container-native, software-defined storage. The hyperconverged infrastructure system will include Red Hat OpenShift to support containers and virtual machines.

The use of cloud applications has grown to a point where few, if any, businesses can operate without them. Apps enable people to connect, create, save money and time, and generally power key engines of the global economy.
A growing problem, however, is that cloud application optimization has moved beyond human scale. The size of cloud operations has expanded to a point where sitting in front of a console and managing millions of complex workflows has become impossible.
Accenture’s latest report on cloud trends for 2021 found that at least 93% of enterprises have embarked on a multicloud strategy, averaging 3.4 public and 3.9 private clouds being deployed or tested. That’s a lot of IT infrastructure for any organization to manage, especially when it comes to obtaining maximum value for the cost.
