The IBM Cloud Pak strategy framework is the load bearing IBM hybrid cloud commercial framework. The actual customer IBM Cloud Pak framework anchors against the broader Cloud Pak for Data framework, the broader Cloud Pak for Integration framework, the broader Cloud Pak for Business Automation framework, the broader Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps framework, the broader Cloud Pak for Security framework, and the broader Virtual Processor Core (VPC) pricing framework. This article sets out the broader IBM Cloud Pak negotiation framework, the broader IBM Cloud Pak commercial framework, the broader VPC pricing framework, and the broader IBM Cloud Pak strategy framework.

The IBM Cloud Pak framework

The broader IBM Cloud Pak framework anchors the actual customer IBM hybrid cloud framework against the broader IBM commercial framework, with the broader Cloud Pak family segmented across five load bearing platforms. First, the Cloud Pak for Data framework, the broader IBM data and AI platform framework. Second, the Cloud Pak for Integration framework, the broader IBM integration platform framework. Third, the Cloud Pak for Business Automation framework, the broader IBM business automation platform framework. Fourth, the Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps framework, the broader IBM AIOps platform framework. Fifth, the Cloud Pak for Security framework, the broader IBM security platform framework. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer IBM Cloud Pak framework against the actual customer IBM workload framework, the actual customer IBM VPC framework, and the broader actual customer IBM commercial framework.

The Cloud Pak for Data framework

The broader IBM Cloud Pak for Data framework is the broader IBM data and AI platform framework. The broader Cloud Pak for Data framework integrates across the broader IBM Db2 framework, the broader IBM Watson Studio framework, the broader IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog framework, the broader IBM DataStage framework, and the broader IBM Cognos Analytics framework. The broader Cloud Pak for Data framework typically anchors against the broader Virtual Processor Core (VPC) pricing framework, with the broader Cloud Pak for Data framework typically listing at $4,500 per VPC per year. The broader Cloud Pak for Data framework typically delivers between thirty and fifty percent against the broader IBM individual product framework. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer Cloud Pak for Data framework against the actual customer IBM data workload framework. Read the related IBM middleware spend guide.

The Cloud Pak for Integration framework

The broader IBM Cloud Pak for Integration framework is the broader IBM integration platform framework. The broader Cloud Pak for Integration framework integrates across the broader IBM API Connect framework, the broader IBM App Connect framework, the broader IBM MQ framework, the broader IBM DataPower Gateway framework, the broader IBM Aspera framework, and the broader IBM Event Streams framework. The broader Cloud Pak for Integration framework typically anchors against the broader VPC pricing framework, with the broader Cloud Pak for Integration framework typically listing at $4,500 per VPC per year. The broader Cloud Pak for Integration framework typically delivers between thirty and fifty percent against the broader IBM integration product framework. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer Cloud Pak for Integration framework against the actual customer IBM integration workload framework. Read the related IBM ELA renewal landing.

The Cloud Pak for Business Automation framework

The broader IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation framework is the broader IBM business automation platform framework. The broader Cloud Pak for Business Automation framework integrates across the broader IBM Business Automation Workflow framework, the broader IBM FileNet Content Manager framework, the broader IBM Operational Decision Manager framework, the broader IBM Robotic Process Automation framework, and the broader IBM Datacap framework. The broader Cloud Pak for Business Automation framework typically anchors against the broader VPC pricing framework, with the broader Cloud Pak for Business Automation framework typically listing at $9,500 per VPC per year. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer Cloud Pak for Business Automation framework against the actual customer IBM automation workload framework.

The Virtual Processor Core (VPC) pricing framework

The broader IBM Virtual Processor Core (VPC) pricing framework is the broader IBM Cloud Pak commercial framework. The broader VPC framework anchors the actual customer IBM Cloud Pak framework against the broader IBM Cloud Pak contractual annual license framework on a per VPC framework. One VPC typically anchors against one virtual processor core, with the broader VPC framework typically anchored against the broader actual customer IBM Cloud Pak workload framework. The broader VPC framework typically delivers the broader IBM Cloud Pak deployment flexibility framework, with the broader VPC framework deployable across IBM Cloud, Red Hat OpenShift, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The buyer side move is to anchor the actual customer VPC framework against the actual customer IBM Cloud Pak workload framework. Read the related ILMT sub capacity guide.
