IBM
recently announced that the availability of its software portfolio is expanding globally to 92 countries in the
AWS Marketplace
. This marketplace is a digital catalogue with multiple software listings from independent software vendors (ISVs) that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The software is currently available beyond Denmark, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States in other countries like India.
This company has claimed that this software will help make procurement easier for clients, streamline purchasing and create new efficiencies while allowing them to use their AWS committed spend for IBM software purchases.
This will provide clients more access to IBM’s artificial intelligence (AI) and data technologies within a portfolio of 44 listings and 29 SaaS offerings available for purchase. Included among those technologies are components of the
Watsonx AI
and Data platform, which allow enterprises to build, scale and govern AI workloads.
What is Watsonx AI and Data platform
Watsonx.data is a
data store
built on an open data lakehouse architecture. Whereas Watsonx.ai, is a next-generation enterprise studio for AI builders. Both these platforms are available in AWS Marketplace as well as two of IBM’s AI Assistants — watsonx Assistant and watsonx Orchestrate. The watsonx.governance is also expected to be available soon.
Other software offered by IBM
Other software includes IBM’s flagship database Db2
Cloud Pak
for Data as well as a portfolio of automation software including Apptio, Turbonomic and Instana, and the IBM Security and Sustainability software portfolios. All of them are built on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS. The cloud-native software enables clients to deploy on AWS while flexible licensing, including SaaS and subscription, makes it easier for clients to purchase exactly how they want.
IBM is also launching 15 new IBM Consulting professional services and assets on AWS Marketplace which are designed exclusively for AWS. These new service offerings claim to be aligned with client needs and demand, focused on data and application modernisation, security services, and tailored industry-specific solutions – with generative AI capabilities included in select services.
IBM Consulting also brings 24,000 AWS certifications and a dedicated team of experts trained in the latest AWS technologies to help clients with tailored recommendations.
