IBM Cloud Private is the software on the basis of technologies of containerization, microservices and API.
On November 2, 2017 IBM announced start of a software platform of IBM Cloud Private. It is focused on support of the companies in use of the means invested in technology for work with key data and applications, and expansion of use of cloud tools in public and private clouds.
The software technology of IBM Cloud Private will help the companies to create the local cloud systems similar on functionality to a public cloud, for application development acceleration. The platform is created on the basis of a management system for container architecture Kubernetes open source and supports technologies Docker and Cloud Foundry that provides its compatibility with public cloud platforms. The IBM Cloud Private platform gives to ability to integrate and portability of workloads into any cloud environment in process of their development, including a public cloud IBM Cloud.
IBM released containerized versions of the main corporate software, including IBM WebSphere Liberty, Db2 and MQ. The solution simplifies exchange of information and deployment of applications according to all requirements in IBM Cloud Private, public clouds and other cloud environments.
Main features
- Control automation by cloud platforms – the Advanced resource management system in different cloud environments for start, monitoring and control over services and also ensuring permanent security.
- Security and data encryption - the Assistant on vulnerabilities scans containers in a cloud for determination of potential problems and vulnerabilities in a security system. The platform ciphers all data dynamically and limits access rights in a cluster.
- IBM Cloud Private includes the mechanism of containers, the system of orchestration Kubernetes for safe deployment of containers, the Cloud Foundry platform and the main management tools which are completely integrated and automated.
- The possibility of the choice of infrastructure – technology is compatible to systems from Cisco Dell EMC Intel, Lenovo and NetApp. It is optimized for solutions IBM Systems, including IBM Power Systems, IBM Z and IBM Hyperconverged Systems based on software Nutanix.
- Data and analytics – Integration with services of IBM Db2 databases, PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data management and analytics.
- Support of applications and the DevOps tools – containerized software versions and development environments, including IBM WebSphere, Open Liberty, MQ and Microservice Builder in software set. The platform provides access to a number of the optimized management systems and the DevOps tools, including APM, Netcool and UrbanCode which can be purchased for the mezzanine board.
