Complementing the new IBM Z as-a-service in IBM Cloud offering, the IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack is now available to accelerate delivery of application modernization projects.
The Z as-a-service offering gives users access to public cloud environments on a pay-as-you-go basis, allowing them to use varying amounts of resources. It also allows for self-provisioning of a z/OS Virtual Server Instance that resides on the IBM Z platform in a logically isolated and secured space on the IBM Cloud.
The Cloud Modernization Stack streamlines the way developers access applications and data by creating secure APIs. It also allows them to more easily access enterprise-class DevOps environments where cloud-native development is taking place using industry-standard tools.
The Modernization Stack lets developers take a standardized approach to IT automation across a variety of use cases, as well as eliminate the need to hire more expensive personnel with specialized skills handling proprietary mainframe software.
The new offerings show IBM's belief there is no one-size-fits-all approach to modernizing mainframe-based environments, said Tarun Chopra, Vice President of IBM Z Hybrid Cloud. Chopra pointed out that the offerings leverage equally the capabilities of IBM z/OS and the IBM Cloud.
