IDC Vendor Spotlight on the right OS for operational excellence
In today's heterogeneous datacenter, data streams of varying value flow from and to purpose-built platforms. These platforms are optimized for distinct workloads, both on-premises and in the cloud. High-value data requires a high-end platform with a mature operating system, such as IBM AIX.
As digital transformation (DX) continues to reorient IT strategies, businesses are shifting resources toward the public cloud. However, massive amounts of data continue to be managed in the world's enterprise data centers. Why? Because data is not homogeneous
Efforts to maximize capabilities have triggered a growing trend toward designing the right infrastructure for the right workload — and that extends to the operating system. Thus, operating systems, such as IBM AIX, have transformed to meet today's IT requirements and operate as a hybrid cloud.
