Simplify virtual infrastructure control

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.

Accelerate time-to-value

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.

Seamlessly integrate into the cloud

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.

Support VM workloads

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.

Simplified IaaS management for service providers

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.

On-premises DBaaS deployment automation

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 database as a service (DBaaS).

Automated Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster deployment

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.

Unified management across hybrid 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.

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.
