What is IBM Bluemix?
So everybody is talking cloud these days.
And IBM being pioneer in most of the technologies since about a hundred years, could not just take a back seat now, could it?
In IBM's words -
"Bluemix is an implementation of IBM's Open Cloud Architecture, leveraging Cloud Foundry to enable developers to rapidly build, deploy, and manage their cloud applications, while tapping a growing ecosystem of available services and runtime frameworks."
Okay. Lets dissect this description...
Bluemix is an implementation of IBM's Open Cloud Architecture.
So Bluemix is nothing but the latest cloud offering from IBM.
...leveraging Cloud Foundry...
Cloud Foundry is an open source platform as a service (PaaS) that lets you quickly and easily create and deploy applications on the cloud.
...to enable developers to rapidly build, deploy, and manage their cloud applications
It lets organizations and developers to quickly create, deploy, and manage applications on the cloud. Cloud Foundry lets you focus on building cloud applications rather than the underlying infrastructure needed by the app to run on cloud.
...while tapping a growing ecosystem of available services and runtime frameworks
Now this is what that makes it most interesting.
Part of any open cloud environment deployment includes cloud workloads and capabilities that are available within the cloud.
The number of services and frameworks provided by Bluemix is quite impressive. This reduces the time for application/infrastructure provisioning and total cost of ownership. It provides flexibility for developers in terms of storage, bandwidth and power. And businesses in terms of instant updates and new features deployed automatically; thus letting them rapidly adjust to their customer and client needs.
I can't wait to start with my first application on Bluemix!

I will be back with more on this soon!
