2030+

Enable one seamless compute.

The multicloud as a global utility will deliver computing with simplicity, seamlessly integrating multiple computing models—classical and quantum—and providers and meeting regulatory, security, and sovereignty constraints.

Why this matters for our clients and the world

Specialized computing (e.g., quantum computing, specialized hardware) will bring an unprecedented ability to solve increasingly more challenging problems, with a simple user experience.

The technologies and innovations that will make this possible

Management of quantum workloads will be done with the same resiliency, cybersecurity, and sustainability standards as traditional, AI-infused workloads.

How these advancements will be delivered to IBM clients and partners

These innovations will be delivered in multicloud marketplaces and exchanges. The multicloud world will be hyper-scalable, with decentralized orchestration and automation, and will be delivered predominantly via SaaS capabilities.
