Review tested and deployable architectures that enable use of leading-edge hybrid cloud and AI technologies so you can better meet your changing business objectives.
IBM lets you stay ahead of the curve by helping you build architectures that improve developer productivity and simplify how you manage hybrid cloud–based applications. No matter where you start your architecture journey, we offer the deployable code, learning resources and consulting engagements to see you through to the end.
Reference Architectures
All of our reference architectures are deployable through the IBM console or by IBM Supported code patterns. We also offer or recommend the ideal technologies and products for complete implementation.
IBM Technology Zone (TZ) has built a deployment automation system that allows IBMers, RedHat and Partner seller (sellers) teams to select from a wide range of IBM products and enables them to build unique, customized solutions.
The DevSecOps deployable architecture creates a set of DevOps Toolchains and pipelines. DevSecOps uses Continuous Delivery (Git Repos and Issue Tracking, Tekton Pipelines, DevOps Insights, and Code Risk Analyzer), Secrets Manager, Key Protect, Cloud Object Storage, Container Registry and Vulnerability Advisor.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on VPC landing zone is a deployable architecture solution that is based on the IBM Cloud for Financial Services reference architecture. It creates secure and compliant Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform workload clusters on a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network.
The Standard variation of the VPC landing zone deployable architecture uses two Virtual Private Clouds (VPC), a Management VPC, and a Workload VPC to manage the environment and the deployed workload. Each VPC is a multi-zoned, multi-subnet implementation that keeps your workloads secure. A transit gateway connects the VPCs to each other and Virtual Private Endpoints are used connect to IBM Cloud services.
The QuickStart variation of the VSI on VPC landing zone deployable architecture creates a fully customizable Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment in a single region. The solution provides virtual servers in a secure VPC for your workloads. The QuickStart variation is designed to deploy quickly for demonstration and development.
The Standard variation of the VSI on VPC landing zone deployable architecture is based on the IBM Cloud for Financial Services reference architecture. The architecture creates a customizable and secure infrastructure, with virtual servers, to run your workloads with a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in multizone regions.
AI Governance helps businesses operationalize AI with trust and manage model risk to enable the responsible use of AI.

The SAP ready PowerVS variation of the Power Virtual Server for SAP HANA creates a basic and expandable SAP system landscape. The variation builds on the foundation of the VPC landing zone and Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone. PowerVS instances for SAP HANA, SAP NetWeaver, and optionally for shared SAP files are deployed and preconfigured for SAP installation.
PowerVS workspace deployment of the Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone creates VPC services and a Power Virtual Server workspace and interconnects them.
Quickstart deployment of the Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone creates VPC services , a Power Virtual Server workspace and interconnects them. It also deploys a Power Virtual Server of chosen T-shirt size or custom configuration. Supported Os are Aix, IBM i and Linux images.
The Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone as variation 'Extend Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone' creates an additional Power Virtual Server workspace and connects it with already created Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone. It builds on existing Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone deployed as a variation 'Create a new architecture'.
The IBM Well-Architected Framework provides recommendations and best practices to help hybrid cloud architects design secure, performant solutions.
