Smart. Secure. Ready for business.
IBM SmartCloud Enterprise is an agile cloud computing infrastructure as a service (IaaS) designed to provide rapid access to security-rich, enterprise-class virtual server environments, well suited for development and test activities and other dynamic workloads. Ideal for both IT and application development teams, the IBM SmartCloud delivers cloud-based services, systems and software to meet the needs of your business. Powered by six state-of-the-art green IBM data centers, SmartCloud Enterprise availability includes industry-leading IBM service-level agreements of 99.9% (US).
IBM SmartCloud Application Services (US), IBM's platform as a service offering, runs on top of and deploys virtual resources to IBM SmartCloud Enterprise. This powerful combination of infrastructure and platform services allows clients to develop, test and deploy either "born on the cloud" ("cloud-centric") applications, or legacy ("cloud-enabled") applications. In addition to speeding application development, SmartCloud Application Services also helps bridge the gap between development and operations processes, known as DevOps. Collaborative tools support the DevOps agile service delivery approach, accelerating application deployment from weeks to minutes.

What is infrastructure as a service (IaaS)?
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a web service that provisions hardware, storage and server equipment through a cloud computing environment. This infrastructure as a service model frees up resources you’d otherwise use to house, run and maintain the equipment. An IaaS approach is ideal for resource intensive activities, such as development and testing and other dynamic workloads.
