Modern IaaS for IBM Z and LinuxONE
IBM Cloud® Infrastructure Center simplifies infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for IBM Z® and LinuxONE, managing Linux virtual machines on IBM z/VM® and Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM). With OpenStack-compatible APIs and a self-service portal, it simplifies infrastructure lifecycle management and enables hybrid cloud integration.
Manage compute, storage and network resources with ease through a centralized interface. Reduce complexity through automation and consistent tools across IBM Z and LinuxONE environments.
Quickly deploy infrastructure with automated services and an accessible portal. Enable teams to self-serve resources and reduce provisioning time for development and production workloads.
Use OpenStack-compatible APIs to connect with cloud management tools like IBM Cloud Pak® and Red Hat® automation. Integrate IBM Z and LinuxONE into your hybrid cloud without platform-specific expertise.
Manage containerized and traditional workloads through one platform. Maintain flexibility to support legacy systems and modern cloud-native applications within a unified IaaS environment.
Use cases
Empower how you deploy, manage and integrate IaaS.
Help service providers streamline Linux image deployment and integrate across enterprise systems. Leverage OpenStack-compatible APIs to cut down cost and complexity in virtualized environments.
Enable teams to deploy database services quickly by selecting a Linux distribution and database, then launching through a fully automated, scalable service model ideal for private cloud and database as a service (DBaaS).
Support Red Hat OpenShift deployment on z/VM or Red Hat KVM-based virtual machines. Simplify infrastructure setup and ensure consistency across development and production environments.
Centralize control of virtual infrastructure across on-premises environments and hybrid cloud. Use OpenStack-compatible APIs to integrate IBM Z and LinuxONE with tools and maintain consistent management policies.
Organizations managing hybrid cloud environments require consistent provisioning and resource management across platforms. The integration of IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center with Terraform for Z and LinuxONE provides a unified solution for automating infrastructure configuration, managing virtualized resources, and enforcing security and compliance across IBM Z and LinuxONE systems.
Features
Designed to support both containerized and noncontainerized workloads, IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center provides the flexibility to manage modern applications alongside traditional systems. It automates provisioning and integrates easily across enterprise environments.
Dynamically scale compute, network and storage resources. Provision Red Hat, SUSE and Canonical Linux distributions and deploy Red Hat OpenShift clusters with ease across IBM Z and LinuxONE.
Resources
Use standard APIs to connect with cloud tools like VMware vRealize, IBM Cloud Pak and Red Hat. This vendor-agnostic integration enables hybrid cloud management without extra training.
Empower users with a modern self-service portal to deploy and manage virtual infrastructure. Predefined templates such as MongoDB instances accelerate provisioning and simplify deployment.
