Declining revenues and compressed prot margins are forcing you to explore new revenue opportunities and create innovative services. At the same time, you need to reduce operational and cost inefficiencies, and improve the agility of your IT environment. A cloud environment can help you meet these challenges with a range of capabilities, enabling you to accelerate time to market for new services. But implementing a comprehensive cloud platform requires extensive hardware and software integration skills. IBM Implementation Services for Cloud offers IBM specialists to help you plan, design and implement a cloud environment that can provide on-demand provisioning of dynamically scalable, virtualized resources to help reduce costs, cycle times, complexity and risk. You can use our cloud platform for internal workloads or, by adding extensions, scale it to a carrier-grade cloud service provider platform that can be used to create and deliver cloud services. Our more holistic solution includes network, storage, security, monitoring and service level management features. We also provide access to the applications of a vast IBM Business Partner ecosystem to help you drive innovative services to market more quickly.

Helping reduce costs, cycle times and complexity with cloud computing
Our basic cloud environment is designed to be exible and security-rich and can be ideal for internal enterprise workloads, such as development and testing. It is built using IBMs integrated service delivery management software and can support the integration of your legacy infrastructure and third-party applications. Our cloud infrastructure includes self-service system management tools and automated processes to help you enhance operational efficiency and more quickly achieve time-to-value.

Enabling faster creation, management and monetization of cloud services


Our basic extensible cloud environment can scale to a carrier-grade platform for selling cloud-based services. We help provide a security-rich environment with multitenancy and isolation options, an application programming interface (API)-driven self-service portal, integrated network management controls, and monitoring and metering capabilities. With enhanced availability and integrated backup features, this environment can provide you with a robust cloud service provider platform.
