IBM Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Provision virtual servers, storage and networking on demand, with fine-grained access controls and native integration to on-premises infrastructure. The platform includes monitoring and auto-scaling capabilities, reducing the operational overhead of managing compute resources. Pay for what you use, with commitment-based pricing for predictable workloads.
IBM Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Deploy containerised applications using IBM Cloud’s Kubernetes service, or run applications on managed runtimes without managing underlying infrastructure. The platform includes built-in CI/CD pipelines, application monitoring and auto-recovery. Ideal for teams moving to microservices architecture without the operational complexity of managing container orchestration themselves.
IBM Cloud Databases
Managed relational, NoSQL and data warehouse databases available on-demand with automated backup, recovery and scaling. The service includes native encryption, audit logging and compliance reporting required for regulated industries. Teams avoid the operational burden of database administration while maintaining performance and availability guarantees.
IBM Cloud for Financial Services
Purpose-built for banking, insurance and investment firms, this offering combines IaaS and PaaS with financial services-specific controls. It includes federated access management, network isolation and compliance automation. Reduces time to deploy new applications from months to weeks while maintaining audit trails and segregation of duties required by the FCA.
