What is IBM Cloud Pak? 

ICP4D is one of a set of IBM Cloud Paks. IBM Cloud Paks are enterprise-ready, containerized software solutions that give clients an open, faster and more secure way to move core business applications to any cloud. Each IBM Cloud Pak includes containerized IBM middleware and common software services for development and management, on top of a common integration layer — designed to reduce development time by up to 84 percent and operational expenses by up to 75 percent. IBM Cloud Paks run wherever Red Hat OpenShift runs and are optimized for productivity and performance on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. 

 

ICP4D is comprised of containerized software pre-integrated with Red Hat OpenShift. The platform is deployable in just hours and easily extendable with a growing array of IBM and third-party microservices.
