Jamcracker: Jamcracker Cloud Service Brokerage Enablement Solution to Be Showcased at TM Forum Management World

Demonstration to highlight cloud aggregation and delivery solution in IBM booth

Jamcracker, the Cloud Services Brokerage enablement company, today announced that their cloud service brokerage enablement solution with IBM will be showcased at the TM Forum Management World, taking place May 23-26 in Dublin, Ireland. At the conference, demonstrations of the Jamcracker Platform and IBM CSP2 will be given at IBM’s booth #68.

Jamcracker and IBM have teamed to offer a complete and unified cloud services delivery stack that enables service providers to become Cloud Service Brokerages (CSBs). The CSB model provides an architectural, business and IT operations model for enabling, delivering and managing different cloud services within a federated and consistent provisioning, billing, security, administration and support framework. This allows service providers to unify the delivery of cloud services, including internally hosted infrastructure as a service (IaaS) clouds aggregated with IaaS, PaaS (platform as a service) and SaaS (software as a service) offerings from external 3^rdparty providers, and differentiate their networks as a true cloud computing platform.

Jamcracker provides a multi-tiered and multi-tenant cloud delivery solution that supports self-service fulfillment, delegated administration and channel enablement. The unified services delivery and management architecture:

• Aggregates order management, security and policy management, user and service administration, billing and settlement, usage reporting and auditing, and license management across internally and externally hosted cloud services.
• Unifies the delivery of Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or any other network-delivered solution.
• Provides the flexibility to create best-of-breed bundled offerings to differentiate their core services for reducing churn, increasing service margins and acquiring net new customers.
• Integrates with new cloud services, whether they are internally or externally hosted, to provide a future-proof means for service providers to continuously innovate to address evolving market opportunities.

"With an increasing number of cloud services available, service providers must determine how they plan to deliver the cloud in a manner that will differentiate themselves and optimize time-to-market for their customers," said Steve Crawford, vice president of marketing and business development at Jamcracker. "Our relationship with IBM provides a comprehensive set of services and capabilities that enable service providers to become CSBs. We are pleased that our solution will be demonstrated at TM Forum Management World next week."
