Abstract: Are you looking to create an enterprise-class hybrid cloud environment with extreme security, scalability, and efficiency while advancing cost-saving opportunities? Cloud deployment of Linux instances and applications on the IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE platforms are critical to the success of many existing IBM clients due to the legendary hardware capabilities and virtually unrivaled low total cost of ownership at-scale. What about those exploring the platforms for the first time, or looking to expand and modernize; what are the current options? This paper provides a technical overview of the technologies that can support your journey into hybrid cloud on IBM Z or IBM LinuxONE. Gain insight into the options regarding the type of xAAS cloud services supported, manage-from and manage-to capabilities, and the type of use cases best suited for each option.
