I don't think the OP was claiming that IBM doesn't create hybrid clouds, because they clearly do. But "hybrid cloud" is definitely a buzzword right now.

- zzzeek 6y agoSure it's a "buzzword" but OP was claiming "Once those checks are cashed they drop everyone and move on to the next buzzword", as though IBM does not have substantive capabilities and investment in the hybrid cloud area. This is the opposite of reality. The phrase "inserts a bunch of people into existing processes and resources and claims credit " suggests IBM is not actually providing the service as well, also not the reality.
- monsieurbanana 6y agoI somehow missed/forgot IBM bought Red Hat. Reading OP's comment, I certainly didn't had the impression we were talking about a 34 billion dollars acquisition.
- adolph 6y agoSome buzzwords have stronger underlying value than others. Hybrid Cloud is very critical for orgs that want to migrate or partly use cloud resources, say for moving capital expense to operating expense or for burst uses, but don’t want two different tool chains. IBM/RH’s offer is more flexible then Azure Stack or pieces of Google like Anthos, but the flexibility comes at a higher cost. In any case, is buzzword but not the same variant of buzz as blockchain.
