IBM Cloud Services

IBM Cloud is a comprehensive cloud platform offering compute (VMs, Kubernetes, OpenShift), databases (Db2, Cloudant, MongoDB), AI services (Watson), messaging, analytics, and hybrid cloud solutions. Enterprises use IBM Cloud for workload migration, compliance-heavy industries, and hybrid deployments combining on-premise infrastructure with cloud. IBM Cloud's strength is integration with legacy IBM systems (mainframes, Db2) and compliance certifications (FedRAMP, HIPAA). Red Hat OpenShift integration provides container orchestration with enterprise governance. The platform is less broad than AWS or Azure but targeted for specific enterprise scenarios.
