IBM Completes Acquisition of HashiCorp for $6.4 Billion

February 28, 2025
IBM has finalized its $6.4 billion acquisition of HashiCorp, aiming to enhance its enterprise multicloud and AI automation capabilities.

IBM has completed its acquisition of HashiCorp for $6.4 billion, a deal that was announced last year and has now been finalized. This acquisition is part of IBM's strategy to integrate HashiCorp's automation and security technologies into its existing offerings, including Red Hat, watsonx, and data security services.

HashiCorp, known for its flagship Terraform package, provides tools for automating infrastructure provisioning and management across multiple cloud environments. The acquisition will allow IBM to enhance its capabilities in automating deployment and orchestration of workloads across diverse infrastructures, including hyperscale cloud service providers and on-premises environments.

The integration of HashiCorp's products with IBM's portfolio is expected to deliver a more comprehensive user experience. For instance, combining Terraform with Ansible will enable a seamless approach to infrastructure automation as code, while Vault's integration with platforms like OpenShift and Guardium will enhance secrets management.

This acquisition underscores IBM's commitment to expanding its multicloud and AI automation technologies, positioning itself to support the anticipated growth in cloud-native applications driven by generative AI advancements.
