IBM acquires Sanovi

Global computer services major IBM has signed a deal to acquire Bengaluru based cloud recovery and migration software Sanovi for an undisclosed sum. IBM said that the acquisition will help to assure its clients of business continuity and disaster recovery, when they shift their applications to cloud.
As a cloud-native company, Sanovi will strengthen IBM resiliency portfolio to manage the broad range of applications, data, and IT systems of our clients balancing digital and hybrid cloud transformation with increased regulatory compliance.  IBM plans to also license the Sanovi disaster recovery management software as a stand-alone platform to customers.

Adding these capabilities along with advanced analytics will better enable IBM to bolster its Software Defined Resiliency strategy and delivery of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery services for clients undergoing digital and hybrid Cloud transformation, the company said in a statement. IBM plans to integrate the Sanovi capabilities into the IBM Global Technology Services unit by the end of 2016.

Hybrid Cloud solutions are turning out to be the preferred choice for enterprises in India for an enhanced efficiency, productivity and cyber security. A Hybrid Cloud is an integrated Cloud service utilizing both private and public Clouds to perform distinct functions within the same organization. With Sanovi's software, IBM will further empower clients to redefine their disaster recovery strategy in the face of unprecedented industry change.
