In New Delhi: IBM has announced plans to go online with its commercial cloud service for software development and testing and is now allowing enterprise and government clients to test and develop applications on IBM Cloud.
Following a successful beta program, IBM is working with partners in cloud management, cloud security, software development and testing support to provide businesses with a unique mix of flexibility, scalability, enterprise-grade security and control for development and test on the IBM Cloud.
The new development will help in reducing cycle times from weeks to minutes and eliminate software defects by up to 30 per cent.
For example, the average enterprise devotes up to 50 per cent of its entire technology infrastructure to development and test, but typically up to 90 per cent of it remains idle.
IBM has seen that taking advantage of cloud computing within development and testing environments can help reduce IT labour costs by 50 per cent, improve quality and drastically reduce time to market.
IBM is building an ecosystem of partners to deliver the most complete and comprehensive cloud computing solutions to clients. This ecosystem comprises of existing and new cloud partners in the IT industry that intend to work with IBM and complement the IBM Cloud in key areas.
Additionally, IBM is launching a new, online cloud computing resource center on IBM developerWorks, the industry's largest technical resource with 8 million registered developers, IT professionals, and students worldwide.
The new developerWorks Cloud Computing resources provide a single point of entry to beta and production cloud environments, as well as a place for visitors to learn how to make the most of cloud computing initiatives.
