Advanced, enterprise-ready IaaS
IBM infrastructure as a service (IaaS) delivers a range of security-rich, enterprise-class
cloud services. Based on open standards and enhanced by a large partner ecosystem,
IBM IaaS features advanced cloud management and integrated security built on decades
of IBM expertise.
IaaS for both born-on-the-cloud and born-on-the-enterprise workloads
We offer two IaaS environments: A self-service IaaS—with built-in PaaS—that is particularly suited for new born-on-the-cloud applications and agile development, and a fully managed IaaS optimized for securely running born-on-the-enterprise workloads (like SAP) on the cloud.
