Telefonica, IBM and Red Hat offer Cloud Garden 2.0 open hybrid cloud service

Telefonica and IBM have teamed up to introduce a new cloud services platform for Spanish businesses called Cloud Garden 2.0. The platform is built on IBM Cloud Pak and Red Hat OpenShift and is designed to help clients create next-generation applications that improve quality and efficiency across core business operations, from customer-facing apps to mission critical back-end processes, said Telefonica.

By integrating IBM Cloud Pak, customers can also include a series of programs to help ease the transition to cloud-native development environments, such as MongoDB, Red Hat JBoss, Red Hat AMQ, IBM WebSphere Liberty and Redis. Cloud Garden 2.0 is hosted via Telefonica’s Virtual Data Centre in Spain, providing low-latency connectivity and better uptime for running and managing applications.

The partners added that Spanish insurance consortium TIREA (Information Technologies and Networks for Insurance Entities) has already developed a new, customer-facing application based on Cloud Garden 2.0 to help accelerate the digital transformation of the insurance sector.
