Armonk (New York): IBM announced new solutions for developers to create and deliver software in both public and private cloud environments.
IBM Rational Software Delivery Services for cloud computing include a set of ready-to-use application lifecycle management tools for developing and testing in the IBM Cloud, and use infrastructure management capabilities, to help organizations in building software applications in the cloud. With these new services, clients can lower costs and respond quicker to organizational demands.
IBM Smart Business Development and Test on the IBM Cloud is a free public cloud beta for software development that provides compute and storage as a service, as well as Rational Software Delivery Services to help application developers and testers speed the development and delivery of software applications.
Organizations must be able to quickly and cost-effectively manage development, testing and deployment of software in often disparate development environments. IBM is providing a framework to help customers centrally manage projects from the cloud, even if they are using third-party or open-source tooling. This brings significant value to customers in terms of cost savings, flexibility, speed, agility and improved governance.
Betas now available for development and test in the Cloud IBM Smart Business Development and Test on the IBM Cloud, are designed to augment and enhance software development and delivery capabilities, particularly in large enterprises, where IT departments handle hundreds of development projects every year. This new environment provides compute and storage as a service, IBM rational software delivery services, WebSphere and information management software to help application developers and testers speed the development and delivery of software applications. To help customers leverage existing investments, these new services support development across heterogeneous environments, including Java, Open Source, and .NET. In addition, pre-configured integrations of some of these Rational services are available based on the Jazz framework, which dynamically integrates and synchronizes people, processes and assets associated with software development projects.
IBM is also extending its IBM Rational Software Delivery Services for cloud computing to a private cloud infrastructure for enterprise customers who prefer governance and control of their own cloud environment. Behind a client's own firewall, these services can provide users with additional development options and customization needed to deploy applications in a private cloud. IBM Rational Software Delivery Services for private cloud environments can be experienced by a limited number of participants.
