Run anywhere

IBM Software Hub can run on your Red Hat OpenShift cluster, whether it's behind your firewall or on the cloud.
On the cloud
If you have an OpenShift deployment on IBM Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, you can deploy IBM Software Hub on your cluster.
On premises
Prefer to keep your deployment behind a firewall? You can run IBM Software Hub on your private, on-premises cluster.

If most of your enterprise data lives behind your firewall, it makes sense to put the applications that access your data behind your firewall to prevent accidentally sharing your data.
