IBM Software Available on EC2

A partnership between IBM and AWS that allows you to develop and deliver your applications on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Easy to use. Start developing your applications on IBM software on Amazon EC2 in minutes

No barriers. IBM is providing software at no charge for development & test of

commercial applications on Amazon EC2. Pay only infrastructure charges - as little as

$0.10/hour.

Pay as you go. Run production versions of leading IBM software products and pay hourly only for what you need, when you need it.

Portability. Use your existing IBM licenses for most IBM software products in the cloud or on premise - it’s now your choice.

Products. Currently DB2, Informix Dynamic Server, WebSphere sMash, Lotus Forms Turbo, IBM Mashup Center, WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere eXtreme Scale, WebSphere Portal Server and Lotus Web Content Management. We have announced our intent to offer others.

How can you use IBM on EC2?

Proof-of-Concept/Development. Many projects begin by creating development and test environments. Development AMIs are available at no additional fee beyond Amazon EC2 usage fees.

Steady State Usage. Migrate your existing IBM software licenses to the Amazon cloud and only pay the normal hourly charges for EC2.

On-Demand Usage. Cost-effective, pay as you go licensing for select IBM software allows you to scale up or down the number of instances to meet your workload demands. This model works well for

unpredictable or variable workloads

Hybrid. Use a combination of steady state licenses for the predictable low water mark and on-demand licenses for the variable workloads.
