IBM Sovereign Core delivers a customer-operated control plane that can be deployed rapidly and operated consistently at scale, allowing localized central teams to operate thousands of cores and hundreds of nodes with different sovereign requirements and controls from a single unique control plane. Automated configuration of identity, security, and compliance is built in from the outset, while self-service provisioning for CPU, GPU, VM and AI inference environments enables repeatable deployment across enterprise-run and partner-operated multi-tenant models, without sacrificing control.
Built on open, enterprise-grade technologies such as Red Hat OpenShift, IBM Sovereign Core enables organizations to extend existing investments across infrastructure, platforms and operational tooling—whether on-premises, in-region cloud or partner-operated environments. Sovereignty is established without resetting the technology foundation or requiring greenfield rebuilds.
