IBM CFO James Kavanaugh indicated “We shipped the highest MIPs in history this quarter, driven by growth in new workloads. You might not be up to date on mainframes but in Q4 2019, IBM set a new mainframe MIPs record with the IBM z15™. Mainframes are the consummate in-house system. However, if you made a bank financial transaction or checked in for a flight you used an IT service based on pre-cloud computing-likely one that included a mainframe. Cloud is so top of mind that it can feel like most applications these days are supported by the cloud. In fact, most of the material on the web about hybrid systems is mainly about an amalgam of different cloud systems. Hybrid infrastructure often includes both public and private clouds.

Hybrid isn’t just the challenge of managing what you have in house plus an application running from a public cloud.

In the past, IT departments preferred to support as few architectures as possible to simplify management but today that desire has been overridden by business wants and needs to use services that are provided by public clouds. In simple terms, hybrid IT is a blend of cloud-based and on-premises IT services. A good place to begin is to answer the question-what is hybrid IT? Then the question becomes how do I manage it (and with what tools)?
