  • Move: enabling migration to any cloud with no vendor lock-in, assisted by configurable and automated migration tooling supporting multiple cloud platforms

This is the broader IBM scope, and everything that is going on inside IBM, whether this is digital workplace services, server services, or storage, fits into this approach. It supports Hybrid IT through its IBM Services for Multicloud Management provided through its IBM Multicloud Management Platform (MCMP), which enables consistent management across existing IT and multiple public and private clouds.
