IBM Cloud Satellite – Product Brief

IBM Cloud Satellite is a hybrid cloud service that instantiates IBM cloud services within an enterprise data center or edge environment, or within another public cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform). It can be ordered as software based on Red Hat Linux and Red Hat OpenShift. Users must supply the Linux hosts. Once integrated with the hardware platform, IBM takes over that resource pool and runs it as an extension of IBM Cloud. As such, it is essentially an IBM-managed OpenShift platform delivered as-a-service that distributes IBM Cloud services to enterprise data center, public clouds and edge environments. Kyndryl can also be a source for a complete turnkey IBM Cloud Satellite solution (hardware/software appliance) delivered as-a-service. Users run Cloud Satellite workloads in the physical location of their choice to meet legal requirements, compliance standards, data speeds, and network latency requirements while securely using IBM Cloud services.

Services available include:
• Red Hat OpenShift for containers
• IBM Cloud Pak for Data as a Service
• IBM Cloud Databases

The objective is to allow IBM Cloud users to run cloud workloads in other physical locations to meet legal requirements, compliance standards, data speeds, and network latency requirements while securely using IBM Cloud services that comply with IBM Cloud’s extensive list of data, finance, health, insurance, privacy, security, technology, and other international compliance standards.
Technology

IBM Cloud Satellite (referred to as a “Satellite location”) provides an API-based suite of tools that can be installed within an on-premises data center, another cloud provider, or an edge network as a Satellite location. Users provide their own Linux servers and associated storage that meet minimum the host requirements. When installed, IBM Cloud services are delivered to the location of choice. The Satellite location is securely connected to IBM Cloud through an encrypted TLS tunnel that is provided with the Satellite Link component. By using this TLS tunnel, users can securely access IBM Cloud services and use them with the same security and compliance standards as in IBM Cloud.
Software tools provided include Satellite Link and Satellite Config to provide additional capabilities for securing and auditing network connections and consistently deploying, managing, and controlling applications and policies across clusters in the location.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
