IBM is planning to offer its experimental cloud-based mainframe application development and testing platform as a commercial service.
Called Wazi as-a-Service (Wazi aaS), it delivers z/OS-based virtual server instances using IBM Cloud’s logically isolated Virtual Private Cloud infrastructure.
IBM says access to the service can be arranged in as little as six minutes, and it performs up to 15x faster than comparable x86 dev and test alternatives in its own cloud data centers.
