IBM Cloud infrastructure through Softlayer is now available on the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace in the U.S. Recognized as the backbone of the IBM Cloud portfolio, SoftLayer is a cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider offering a high-performance cloud delivery model that includes bare metal servers, virtual servers, storage, security services, and networking. These services can be deployed on demand with full remote access and control through a customer Web portal or API, allowing customers to create their ideal public, private, or hybrid cloud environments.
The Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace enables channel partners to easily configure and manage Softlayer along with other cloud offerings through a single console. The Softlayer services offered by Ingram Micro are fully automated pre-packaged service plans featuring virtual private server, bare metal recovery, and network gateway appliances.
SoftLayer’s all-in-one, automated IaaS platform currently includes 24 data centers throughout the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe and encompasses a comprehensive range of cloud computing options that are connected to an integrated private network and management system.
Ingram Micro’s new offering also taps into IBM’s in-country compliance efforts, which help public and private sector clients in regulated industries, including healthcare, government, financial, and legal organizations, to improve access to their online information and services. With this, the company’s channel partners can now offer their regional customers a secure, resilient, and scalable platform for placing sensitive and demanding workloads in the cloud.
