What Are The Benefits of IBM SoftLayer?IBM softlayer is part of the IBM cloud services division, which combines the capaibility of Softlayer and smartcloud into a single managed service which competed directly with the main public cloud service providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud platform. However IBM Softlayer gives administrators the ability to provision and move virtualised environments as the needs of an organisation change. This flexibility gives the platform the ability to also compete with private infrastructure environments on features such as security, scale and resilience.

IBM Softlayer Datacentres are located throughout Europe, America and Asia, giving users global resilience and local data management & compliance capability. Their extensive network incorporates public, private and internal managed networks that, in turn, are able to offer low latency connections at a significantly reduced cost compared to other methods of managing complex multi environment networks. This position in the marketplace is further supported due to greater automation and control offered to administrators, that in part, is provided by the accessibility of API, portal and mobile applications.
