IBM has consolidated the Blue Box private cloud-as-a-service into its global data center infrastructure that runs SoftLayer.
The OpenStack-powered Blue Box Cloud, recently acquired by IBM, has been added to the OpenStack portfolio to help customers operate public cloud, IBM said Wednesday.
“Today, we’ve taken a big step toward our goal of delivering private clouds to customers anywhere in the world — and we’re offering deployment timelines that are unheard of within traditional private cloud,†said Jesse Proudman, chief technology officer at Blue Box.
Customers will be able to leverage the OpenStack infrastructure from a data center regardless of location and isolate data within SoftLayer‘s global data centers, IBM says.
