The modern cloud is here, and it's fueling the future  

Building the modern cloud with innovation, sustainability, and open source

Cloud is undergoing a philosophical and technical renaissance. Innovation and disruption have become driving goals for cloud implementation, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore, and the idea of super or metaclouds—fueled by open source—is gaining force across the cloud universe. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with IBM’s Roger Premo about this paradigm shift in cloud and how it’s driving companies to change the way they think about cloud now and in the future.

What the cloud has brought, not only the AI platforms have gotten immensely better...but it's affordable. So, small businesses can punch above their weight finally because they're able to leverage this technology.

Roger Premo is IBM’s General Manager, Strategy and Corporate Development. His team is responsible for shaping the overall IBM strategy, including the company’s focus on hybrid Cloud and artificial intelligence, across all of IBM’s business units. 

The vital role cloud can play in promoting sustainability

Sustainability plays an increasingly important role in corporate missions these days. The IT function is no exception. Cloud can play an important part in promoting sustainability simply via the way companies architect for, and operate in, cloud.

Innovation, culture, and confidence drive higher cloud value

What do companies that achieve cloud success do differently? It comes down not to how much money they spend, but what they spend it on. Cloud leaders spend on innovation, and they use technology as a force multiplier.
