Flexible, resilient, secure IT for your hybrid cloud
An open hybrid approach allows you to integrate the best features and functions from any cloud, or traditional IT environment, and tap the unmatched pace and quality of innovations from the open source community. An open, hybrid cloud strategy lets you build and manage workloads from anywhere, without vendor lock-in.

IaaS providers manage large global data centers that contain the physical servers that are needed to power the various layers of abstraction on top of them, which are made available to users over the internet.
IaaS relies on virtualised compute resources (for example, compute, network, storage) made available as virtual machines (VMs), the fundamental units of compute in cloud computing.
The process of virtualisation makes it possible to create multiple virtual machines—each with its own operating system (OS) and applications—on a single physical machine. This enables dozens of applications and workloads to run and scale successfully. The cloud service provider manages the hypervisors, also known as a virtual machine monitors (VMMs), that logically separate virtual machines (VMs) from each other, assigning each its own slice of the underlying computing power, memory and storage. Users can then provision virtual "instances" with wanted amounts of compute, memory and storage.
Deploying virtual machines and other virtualised infrastructure relies heavily on the creation and implementation of automated processes and software in place of time-consuming manual activities.
Automating infrastructure management simplifies tasks like configuration management, deployment and provisioning. Depending on business needs, IaaS can be paired with automated services and upgrades like autoscaling, load balancing, backup and recovery and performance monitoring to help optimize application availability and deliver a positive end-user experience.
98% of organisations achieved maximised availability and uptime through a comprehensive, well-designed cloud architecture.
A hybrid cloud environment delivers on the openness and flexibility that's needed for today and tomorrow.
95% of organisations with a well-planned, formal cloud architecture report an improved security posture.
IaaS includes support for containerization, the packaging of software code with just the operating system (OS) libraries and dependencies that are required to run the code to create a single lightweight executable—a container—that runs consistently on any infrastructure. More portable and resource-efficient than virtual machines, containers became the de facto compute units of modern cloud-native applications.
In many instances, containers replaced VMs as the standard unit of process or service deployment. Container orchestration tools like Kubernetes automate the deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. IaaS models provide the underlying resources to scale Kubernetes and containerized applications up or down as dictated by business needs.
IaaS providers provide cloud security and compliance frameworks through a shared responsibility model. In essence, the cloud service provider manages the physical security of data centers (cameras, security staff) and underlying infrastructure (compute, storage, physical network).
At the same time, the cloud customer is responsible for securing their workloads, applications and data. The cloud service provider provides the customer with the ability to encrypt virtual machines and other methods to protect client data and reduce the risk of cyberattacks.

The new generation of hybrid cloud provides a common platform across all of your cloud, on-premises and edge environments. That means you can skill once, build once and manage from a single pane of glass. IBM provides you with the most comprehensive and consistent approach to development, security and operations across hybrid environments. In fact, our hybrid cloud approach can offer up to 2.5x more value than a public cloud-only approach. With our hybrid cloud value calculator, you can determine the value that a hybrid cloud approach can bring to your business.
