Key capabilities
- Compute and storage: Choose relevant cloud infrastructure services for the workload.
- Platform services: Assess application, data and automation services separately.
- Hybrid operations: Plan connectivity and governance across existing and cloud environments.
The useful scope here is IBM Cloud infrastructure and platform services, not every IBM software and consulting offering.
Consider IBM Cloud when workload placement, data requirements or existing IBM systems shape the architecture. Name the service and region in every comparison; the corporate brand alone is too broad to evaluate.
A credible evaluation migrates one representative workload and checks identity, networking, recovery and operating cost in its chosen region.
