      Solvinity works primarily for Dutch government bodies…

      Given that the bulk of the business is cloud services for the Dutch government, blocking or nationalizing seems like the right move.

    Who the heck is Kyndryl?

    Ah. It looks like IBM split off their IT services division into a separate company.

    Officially formed in late 2021, Kyndryl was created from the spin-off of IBM’s infrastructure services,[4][5] and comprises the bulk of the former IBM Global Technology Services.

    In 2022, as ranked by revenue, CRN placed Kyndryl No. 6 on its list of largest IT solution providers in North America.

    Focused on IT services for businesses,[20] Kyndryl designs, builds, manages, and modernizes enterprise IT infrastructure systems,[4][17] with capabilities in artificial intelligence as well as data and analytics.[20] In late 2021, Kyndryl listed its six service areas as: cloud; security and resiliency; network and edge computing; digital workplace; core enterprise and zCloud; and applications, data, and AI.
