HashiCorp's capabilities drive significant synergies across multiple strategic growth areas for IBM, including Red Hat, watsonx, data security, IT automation and Consulting

IBM (NYSE: IBM) has announced it has completed its acquisition of HashiCorp, whose products automate and secure the infrastructure that underpins hybrid cloud applications and generative AI. Together the companies' capabilities will help clients accelerate innovation, strengthen security, and get more value from the cloud.

Today nearly 75% of enterprises are using hybrid cloud1, including public clouds from hyperscalers and on-prem data centers, which can enable true innovation with a consistent approach to delivering and managing that infrastructure at scale.

By 2028, it is projected that generative AI will lead to the creation of 1 billion new cloud-native applications.2 Supporting this scale requires infrastructure automation far beyond the capacity of the workforce alone.
