RackWare and IBM Cloud
Enterprise Mobility and Resilience Across IBM with RackWare. Modernize legacy systems and ensure workload protection in IBM environments with RackWare. Our platform simplifies migration and disaster recovery into IBM Cloud, including IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers, IBM Cloud Classic Infrastructure, Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud (ROKS), IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions, and IBM Power Systems Virtual Servers, enabling secure, scalable, and high-performance operations with minimal overhead.
Why RackWare and IBM Cloud
RackWare and IBM form a robust pairing for enterprises seeking secure cloud migration, high availability, and disaster recovery without complexity or vendor lock-in. RackWare’s RMM platform integrates with IBM environments—including IBM Cloud Classic Infrastructure, VPC, ROKS, Bare Metal, VMware Solutions, and Power Systems—to enable intelligent provisioning, workload mobility, and cross-region DR planning.
​
Available in the IBM Cloud Catalog, RackWare RMM deploys seamlessly into your IBM environment and supports auto-provisioning, backup, and recovery strategies across IBM zones and regions. RackWare also integrates with IBM Cloud Object Storage, Block Storage, and Compute to deliver scalable and efficient data protection and workload orchestration.
​
RackWare together with IBM delivers:
-
Seamless migration of physical, virtual, and legacy systems into IBM environments
-
Flexible DR and failover solutions across IBM Cloud VPC, Bare Metal, and Power Systems
-
Unified hybrid cloud control with cost-optimized scaling and provisioning ​

How RackWare for IBM Works
RackWare’s RackWare Management Module (RMM) integrates with IBM APIs to enable:
​
Auto-Provisioning in IBM
Dynamically launch and manage VMs across IBM Cloud VPC, Bare Metal, and Power Systems with intelligent placement based on cost, availability, and policy.
​
Agentless Migration
Move physical and virtual workloads, including clustered systems and high-IO applications—into IBM environments without rebuilding or scripting.
​
IBM-Based Disaster Recovery
Use RackWare’s policy engine to automate failover, fallback, and DR testing across IBM data centers, VPC zones, and supported platforms like Power Systems and VMware Solutions.
​
Cloud Cost Estimation
Analyze IBM resource usage and forecast migration costs based on VM specs, regions, and storage profiles.
​
Policy-Driven Cloud Management
Automate scaling, workload parking, and resource governance across IBM deployments from a single pane of glass.
Benefits of RackWare for Microsoft
Simplified Migration
Eliminate manual reconfiguration. RackWare accelerates workload onboarding into IBM platforms by reducing migration time from weeks to days—even for complex or non-standard environments.
​
Resilient Disaster Recovery
Implement robust, policy-driven DR strategies using IBM infrastructure. RackWare enables both hot and warm standby deployments with rapid failover and rollback capabilities across IBM Cloud VPC, Power Systems, and VMware Solutions.
​
​
Centralized Hybrid Management
Consolidate operations across on-prem, hybrid, and IBM platforms. RackWare’s intuitive console reduces tool sprawl and streamlines governance.
​
​
Cost-Efficient Operations
Maximize ROI on IBM by automating resource utilization, right-sizing VMs, and avoiding idle spend. Integrated support for IBM Cloud Object and Block Storage ensures efficient data use.
​
​
Infrastructure Independence
Avoid vendor lock-in. RackWare decouples applications from infrastructure, ensuring your workloads remain mobile across IBM environments, on-prem, and other platforms.
