Version 2.2.3 of Bluemix Local System and PureApplication System (Intel) was released in May 2017 and introduced advanced functionality. Amongst other things, IBM included support for:
- Custom VMWare environments that can be managed by clients themselves
- Workload Environments, effectively a virtual PureApplication System which uses PureApplication Software under the covers
- Disaster Recovery of Workload Environments between two systems in different data centers
These new features can provide a lot of value to large enterprise clients. The IBM Cloud engineering team has published a developerWorks series of articles called “Hosted VMware environments and recovery solutions in IBM Bluemix Local System”. All three articles have been published now and are a great place for clients to get started.
