IBM provides developers with free access to Power Systems servers in the cloud

IBM introduced a cloud-based application development environment called the IBM Power Development Platform , which provides software developers free cloud access to IBM Power Systems servers for building, porting, and testing applications. IBM expects the new resource to be of particular interest to Linux developers, many of whom are looking for opportunities or are already using more powerful modern servers that are specifically designed to support the new wave of open collaboration applications designed to manage and process Big Data, mobility and support. social interaction.



The Power Development Platform (PDP) offered by the IBM PartnerWorld partner program through the portal www.ibm.com/partnerworld/pdp provides developers worldwide with remote access to IBM server resources based on the latest POWER7 and POWER7 + processors with Linux operating systems, AIX and IBM i. Having started working in the PDP environment, users get access to the same hardware platform - IBM Power Systems - which, together with Linux, manages cognitive computing solutions based on the innovative IBM Watson technology. In addition, the PDP includes a new portable (portable) Linux image with IBM DB2 10.x, IBM WebSphere 8.5.5 and the latest Linux development tools for the Power platform. The PDP also serves as the “entry point” to the complete IBM Software Group Software Access Catalog, which contains the current versions of hundreds of IBM software applications available for download.
