By enabling the migration of VMware workloads to the IBM Cloud, businesses can leverage their existing tools, technologies, and expertise from their local environments. The incorporation of Red Hat OpenShift enhances integration and automation, promoting faster innovation through various services such as AI and analytics. This solution provides a secure and compliant automated deployment architecture that has been validated for financial institutions. With over 15 years of experience, IBM is among the largest operators of VMware workloads globally. The platform ensures optimal infrastructure and performance, featuring more than 100 bare metal configurations. It holds the highest data security certification in the industry, allowing users to maintain control with the “keep your own key” (KYOK) feature.

This comprehensive solution not only enhances efficiency but also fosters a more agile IT environment.
Description
Self-service, remote deployment of operating systems such as Windows, CentOS, ESXi, and Ubuntu on physical servers transforms your data center into a bare metal cloud environment. This Metal-As-A-Service (MAAS) solution enables provisioning for a variety of systems, offering on-demand server capabilities alongside remote edge cluster management. With comprehensive infrastructure monitoring and discovery features, it seamlessly integrates with tools like Ansible, Chef, Puppet, SALT, and Juju, ensuring rapid installations from scratch. Supporting VMware ESXi, Windows, CentOS, RHEL, and Ubuntu, it allows for the creation of customized images with pre-installed applications, as well as configurations for disk and network settings. The platform utilizes an API-driven approach for essential services such as DHCP, DNS, PXE, and IPAM, while a REST API facilitates streamlined provisioning processes. Furthermore, it incorporates LDAP user authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) to enhance security measures. Hardware testing and commissioning are integral parts of the solution, which is designed to deliver the quickest operating system installation times in the industry, thanks to its highly optimized image-based installer. MAAS is compatible with all certified servers from leading vendors and efficiently discovers servers located in racks, chassis, and broader data center networks, while also supporting major system BMCs and chassis controllers. The combination of these features allows organizations to manage their infrastructure more effectively and drive operational efficiency.
