ARMONK, N.Y., June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM
(NYSE: IBM) has announced that for the first time, its
industry-leading IBM Cloud Private application platform, will be
made available to run on the company's enterprise Cloud Managed
Services (CMS).
Hundreds of world-leading banks, airlines and government
organizations already rely on IBM Cloud Managed Services for
managing enterprise applications on security-rich clouds. IBM is
now enabling its CMS customers to help extend their capabilities
and maximise existing investments by synching with IBM Cloud
Private - a new solution based on Kubernetes containers designed to
rapidly build, modernize and deploy applications in client-managed
environments.
By bringing the two together, clients taking advantage of the
security rich and production-ready cloud environment that CMS
offers, can now reap the benefits of the latest cloud-native DevOps
capabilities of IBM Cloud Private, accelerating time to market for
innovative, cloud-native applications.
"We see that organizations are aggressively transforming to
respond faster to changing market, customer and competitive
demands," said Mark Slaga, GM for
IBM Cloud Managed Services. "To support them in their journeys, IBM
is continuously innovating and adapting its cloud offerings. By
combining the power of IBM Cloud Managed Services and IBM Cloud
Private, customers will be able to benefit from a highly-secure and
versatile environment for managing and modernizing apps and turning
decades of data into competitive advantage."
Launched late last year, IBM Cloud Private is front and center
of IBM's hybrid cloud strategy. Thanks to the flexibility of
container technology, it can be installed on a wide range of
enterprise systems to create a private cloud with an architecture
and capabilities consistent with the public IBM Cloud. IBM Cloud
Private's combination of innovation, flexibility and control is
particularly important to companies in regulated industries such as
finance with high standards for security and reliability.
Coupled with CMS' built-in security, disaster recovery, and
automated infrastructure and application management, IBM's clients
can now have a powerful combination that helps provide the
security, flexibility and speed they need to compete in the most
dynamic markets.
The solution uses the power of Kubernetes container technology
to add self-service Platform-as-a-Service capabilities to IBM's
managed CMS cloud infrastructure. In addition, IBM's CMS clients
can benefit from faster access to IBM's analytics, data, middleware
and Watson portfolios available
through the IBM Cloud Private platform.
IBM Cloud Private running on CMS will be fully operational by
July 2018 and will be fully supported
by IBM services.
