Amazon Web Services (AWS) and IBM Software Group roll-out their strategic collaboration agreement.
This builds on IBM customers being able to bring their own licenses (BYOL) to the AWS cloud and deploy these manually for some time.
Last year IBM signed a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver IBM Software as a Service on AWS. The initial launch was limited to the North American region and we have been following this closely ever since. We are pleased to report that the offering is now available in the UK and certain European countries (Germany, France and Denmark) with more countries promised to roll out in the near future.
