Former IBM infra wing Kyndryl links with Microsoft to pipe mainframe data to cloud
Microsoft and Kyndryl have unveiled a new aspect of their global strategic partnership with plans to help enterprise customers make better use of data held on mainframe systems.
According to Kyndryl, the services outfit has worked with Microsoft in order to enable data pipelines between mainframe systems and Microsoft's Azure cloud, intended to make it easier for customers to move data stored on their mainframes to a cloud environment for analysis.last year, and so it would be ironic if it were now helping IBM customers to ditch the mainframe – though the reality is more complicated than that, of course.
, various cloud-based tools that Redmond offers which combine low-code application development and workflow automation with existing services such as Power BI., Kyndryl's VP and CTO for zCloud Richard Baird discloses how the company has linked its zCloud platform and Microsoft Azure.
Integrating cloud-based functionality with the mainframe not only preserves the value of existing enterprise IT investments, but enhances them to enable faster digital transformation, Kyndryl claimed, which hints that it doesn't quite see the mainframe going away just yet. Instead, Kyndryl talked up the creation of a hybrid environment that makes mainframe data available via Azure and opens it up to the benefits of cloud-based applications, machine learning and AI. What this means is that - in theory - mainframe customers can choose the right platform for the right workload, it said.
