Build and manage a low touch, highly scalable Cloud

IBM SmartCloud Provisioning provides businesses with an Infrastructure as a Service cloud, helping to reduce costs and providing a highly scalable, rapid deployment environment for running applications and reacting to dynamic changes in user resource demands.

IBM SmartCloud Provisioning works behind the scenes to help prevent service outages by automatically working around hardware failures and supporting in-place adding, removing, and upgrading of physical servers -- all without configuration changes. 

It includes image lifecycle management, which not only allows to manage image sprawl and drift but also empowers to do deep image analytics within our image library function.
In addition it provides image construction and composition tool which transforms the complex and time consuming process of creating virtual images into a graphical composition tool.
