ISV Ecosystem - Group home

A Look at IBM’s No-Cost Offerings. Wait -- What? Yes!

  


Hi everyone!

My name is Natalie Carrillo. I’m responsible for nurturing our vibrant IBM Z ISV Community.

Thank you for taking time to check our new user group. If this is your first time here, I encourage you to view our videos, read the blogs, post a discussion topic, and amplify the innovative work you’re doing on the IBM Z platform. If you’re looking for something and you can’t find it in our User Group, please let me know -- I am here for you!

 Today I want to share four amazing offerings with you. Trust me, this is really useful information.

Validation Program for z/OS
The Validation Program for z/OS makes it possible for PartnerWorld members to confirm the capabilities of their solutions on an IBM Z platform running z/OS. This program is an easy way to ensure that your solutions work well. The best part is that it provides ISVs with 60 days of remote access at no charge.

Linux Test Drive
The Linux Test Drive makes it possible for PartnerWorld members to develop, port, and test-drive their Linux solutions on the IBM LinuxONE and IBM Z platforms. This program provides short-term access to Linux running on IBM Z, running as a guest on a z/VM.  It’s available at no charge for 180 days. 

IBM Z Trials Program
Your company can try IBM Z software at no charge, and with no installation. This hands-on trial is available for 3 days; access only takes 2 hours.  Once you have access, you can explore new software features at your own convenience. Work through the guided scenarios at your own pace -- if you need more time, you can request an extension.

DevOps Acceleration Program
Looking for a better way to bridge the gap between DevOps theory and successful implementation? The DevOps Acceleration Program provides a value-add early adoption program designed to partner with clients during their DevOps transformation.

Want to learn more about the IBM Z Ecosystem?

We’ll be sharing lots of topics, including IBM Z skills, data and application modernization, new offerings -- and most importantly, how you can become an IBM Z advocate.

Thank you.  We look forward to seeing you here!
