IBMCloud Providers & HostingCloud infrastructure for selected enterprise workloads
Key capabilities

Where IBM fits
The useful scope here is IBM Cloud infrastructure and platform services, not every IBM software and consulting offering.
Positioning and limitations
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.
