IT infrastructure services provider Kyndryl has partnered with IT company Pure Storage in a deal that will see the two combine their expertise to deliver mission-critical capabilities to enterprises.
As part of the alliance, Kyndryl will become a major delivery partner for Pure, growing the IT company’s already integrated solutions and expanding on its skills to drive transformative business outcomes for customers.
The two firms intend to offer jointly optimised solutions to address the complex application and infrastructure modernisation, automation, multi-cloud management, and containerisation challenges that organisations have to deal with, among others.
Kyndryl said it is moving forward with its strategy by combining the deep technical expertise, global industry knowledge and best-in-class technologies from partners to deliver differentiated offerings to customers.
Kyndryl has a team of over 90 employees who serve over 4,000 customers in more than 60 countries globally, including 75% of the Fortune 100.
“Our alliance with Pure Storage can help customers identify and take advantage of new ways to manage, secure and analyse their mission-critical multi-cloud business data,” said Stephen Leonard, global alliances and partnerships leader at Kyndryl. “We look forward to working with Pure to deliver advanced capabilities that customers can use to modernise and transform their businesses.”
Founded in 2009, Pure claims to deliver a modern data experience that allows organisations to run their operations as an automated, storage-as-a-service model seamlessly across multiple clouds. It says it also assists customers with using data while reducing the complexity and expense of managing the infrastructure behind it.
“We’ve fostered a true collaboration with Kyndryl that will address our shared customers' business challenges and drive the transformation and modernisation they are undertaking,” added Wendy Stusrud, VP of global partner sales at Pure Storage. “Our strategic relationship will provide market-leading solutions that enable customers to maximise their data assets across their organisations with confidence.”
Both firms said all new and enhanced joint offerings can be delivered as-a-service and charged on a consumption basis.
