Hosting ARIN Content
Summary
IBM Cloud (SoftLayer)
cloud hosting compute
IBM Cloud's infrastructure network (SOFTLAYER) — the former SoftLayer hosting
provider that IBM acquired and rebranded as IBM Cloud.
What it's used for
- Hosting customer workloads on IBM Cloud: bare-metal and virtual servers, managed services, and enterprise infrastructure.
Notable
- An IP here means IBM Cloud is the host; the workload belongs to a customer.
- The
SOFTLAYERhandle persists from the acquired brand, which is why lookups show SoftLayer rather than IBM.
Interesting
- SoftLayer was known for automated bare-metal provisioning, a capability IBM folded into its enterprise cloud strategy.
