App-first connectivity that accelerates development and improves security, performance and resiliency

IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh enables accelerated and simplified application modernization & migration initiatives. Workloads can be discovered and connected in minutes across all hybrid cloud architectures.

Leveraging policy-driven, Layer 7 overlay connectivity, Hybrid Cloud Mesh provides:

  • Increased security: zero-trust, end-to-end mutual TLS.
  • Automation: deliver application connectivity across hybrid environments in minutes not days.
  • Portability: securely connect to distributed applications or services as if they were local.
  • App-level observability: better end-to-end visibility between the application and underlying network layers.
  • Performance improvement: determines the optimal pathway to minimize latency and enhance end user experience.

Capabilities

Connectivity overlays Portable connectivity across platforms, clusters, clouds, and networks - agnostic of underlaying IP layer infrastructure. Create connectivity without any changes to apps and services. Facilitates mobility of app workloads across environments.
Connectivity for app teams Autonomously create secured application connectivity across any cloud within infrastructure team predefined networking and security controls. Enhance developer productivity with self-service, developer-controlled app connectivity with APIs/CI/CD integration to existing tools & processes.
Common Security Provides consistent security enforcement across platforms, cloud and networks. Protect application connections with secure mutual TLS encryption across multiple cloud environments and underlying networks. Enable zero trust architectures to reduce security vulnerabilities.
App performance Optimize app connectivity based on application requirements, latency and connection cost. Connect and balance loads across platforms, clusters and clouds for multiple apps and services.
Common management Increase collaboration and productivity between application and infrastructure teams through a single portal and automated workflows. Implement a common platform for application and infrastructure teams to visualize both the application and network layers to quickly diagnose, correct app connectivity issues, and optimize applications performance
Use cases
Application migration What if you could move applications and services to any cluster, any site, any cloud, across any network without app code or network configuration changes? Explore Application migration
Application resilience What if you could automatically re-route application connectivity around underlying network outages? Explore Application resilience
