Want to enhance each other’s products

IBM and AMD have announced a multi-year joint development agreement to enhance and extend their security and artificial intelligence (AI) products.

The joint development agreement will expand this vision by building upon open-source software, open standards, and open system architectures to drive Confidential Computing in hybrid cloud environments and support a broad range of accelerators across high-performance computing (HPC), and enterprise critical capabilities such as virtualisation and encryption.

IBM Research Director Dario Gil said that AMD’s commitment technological innovation aligns with Big Blue’s cunning plan to develop and accelerate the adoption of the hybrid cloud to help connect, secure and power a digital world.

"IBM is focused on giving our clients choice, agility and security in our hybrid cloud offerings through advanced research, development and scaling of new technologies."

AMD executive vice president Mark Papermaster said: "This agreement between AMD and IBM aligns well with our long-standing commitment to collaborating with leaders in the industry. AMD is excited to extend our work with IBM on AI, accelerating data centre workloads, and improving security across the cloud."

The idea is that securing extremely sensitive data still remains a challenge for businesses and cybersecurity is currently the top barrier for adoption as well as the top criteria for selection of cloud providers.
