Autonomic Resources, a GSA IaaS Cloud provider, has signed an agreement with IBM to allow for SaaS enablement of IBM’s software assets.
Utilizing Autonomic’s ARC-P cloud as the delivery method, government agencies will soon be able to utilize IBM technologies in utility based, elastic compute offerings.
Autonomic has initially decided to focus on several of the Tivoli software assets including the Tivoli Maximo family.
Autonomic worked with IBM to leverage its GSA IaaS ARC-P cloud to allow government customers access to technologies in an as-service model.
Autonomic Resources president John Keese said the ability to SaaS enable IBM assets is a key differentiator that Autonomic brought to the table.
"We understand the security requirements, hold the correct contracts, and have the proper cloud platform to deliver this for IBM and their customers. We are quicker and more nimble, and it is why we are first to our market with these offerings," Keese said.
