Bharti Airtel has partnered with IBM to improve its Airtel Cloud platform. The partnership will provide AI-ready, safe, and scalable cloud solutions for Indian businesses in banking, healthcare, government, and other regulated industries.
This partnership integrates IBM's advanced infrastructure and software technologies into the Airtel Cloud Platform. The deal brings IBM’s latest Power11 servers to Airtel Cloud. These servers are AI-ready and can run important business applications safely and efficiently. Companies will use these Servers as-a-Service, making it easier to manage critical workloads.
Airtel will increase its cloud coverage from four to ten zones across India. Two new multizone regions will open in Mumbai and Chennai. This expansion will help businesses keep their data safe and comply with local rules while running important applications without interruptions.
IBM’s AI software, including Watsonx and Red Hat OpenShift AI, will let businesses run AI tasks across their own systems, cloud, multiple clouds, or even at the edge. Red Hat’s hybrid cloud tools will help companies use AI to improve efficiency in daily operations.
The partnership makes sure all solutions meet India’s data laws. Airtel and IBM’s new cloud regions will support data residency rules and keep sensitive business data secure at all times. This is important for industries where security and regulations are strict, like banking and government.
The business collaboration will help Indian companies adopt AI, run hybrid cloud solutions, and modernize their IT systems easily. Airtel Cloud with IBM technology aims to speed up digital innovation, improve efficiency, and give companies a competitive edge.
It also supports new ideas while keeping sensitive information safe. Businesses will now have advanced tools to run their applications smoothly and prepare for the future.
