IBM Cloud

IBM Cloud Computing is a set of cloud computing services for businesses provided by the information technology company IBM. IBM operates three cloud computing hardware platforms. Virtualization is embedded in these platforms. IBM also hosts Websphere, a virtualization application infrastructure that supports programming models and open standards for virtualization.

IBM Tivoli middleware is part of the IBM cloud framework's management layer. Management solutions enable image regulation through automatic provisioning and de-provisioning, as well as monitoring operations and meter consumption while tracking expenditures and assigning payment to the user.

The framework's final layer includes integrated workload tools. Workloads (in the context of cloud computing) are services or instances of code that can be executed to satisfy specific business demands. IBM also provides solutions for cloud-based collaboration, development and testing, application development, analytics, business-to-business connections, and security.
