Effortless, reliable and scalable application networks across any clouds and sites
IBM Mesh for agentic AI era
As enterprise infrastructure evolves to support agentic AI, IBM is bringing the capabilities of IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh forward into a new offering purpose-built for this era — extending the connectivity, discovery, and resilience principles you rely on today to securely connect AI agents, APIs, tools, and MCP servers across any cloud or edge environment. Stay tuned for more details.
Engineered to fast-track connectivity
Portable application networks across platforms, clusters, clouds, and networks - agnostic of underlaying IP layer infrastructure. Create connectivity without any changes to applications and services. Facilitates mobility of application workloads across environments.
Autonomously create secured application connectivity across any cloud within infrastructure team predefined networking and security controls. Enhance developer productivity with self-service, developer-controlled app connectivity APIs and CI/CD integration to existing tools & processes.
Zero Trust Networking (ZTN) is a security approach that shifts away from traditional perimeter-based security models by assuming that no service consumer, whether inside or outside the network, should be trusted by default. Instead, ZTN enforces continuous verification and authorization of all access requests, ensuring that only authorized service consumers can access specific resources based on access privileges.
Optimize latency between application components on the application network, across platforms, clusters, sites, and clouds.
Increase collaboration and productivity between application and infrastructure teams through a shared portal and automated workflows. Implement a common platform for application and infrastructure teams to visualize both the application and network layers to quickly diagnose, correct app connectivity issues, and optimize application performance.
