Instead, it mainly illustrated how an existing managed service is now available through the SoftLayer cloud, as well as through previous IBM consulting sources. At a future date, IBM will add Resiliency Consulting Services from the SoftLayer cloud. The consulting service can integrate legacy IT environments with either a private cloud or the SoftLayer public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service. The service will help companies assess what applications need greater resiliency and determine how to implement and test it. IBM is opening two new cloud-based resiliency centers in Raleigh, N.C., and Mumbai, India. These will join the 15 new SoftLayer datacenters that IBM plans to add this year. The announcement said IBM already operates 150 resiliency centers. Combined with the new additions, the resiliency service will be available in many locations around the globe, cutting network latencies and allowing data to remain close to its point of national origin.
