Reference architecture overview
The IBM Cloud Framework for Financial Services provides three reference architectures that can be used as a basis for meeting the security and regulatory requirements that are defined in the framework. Learn about these reference architectures in the following table.
| Reference architecture | Description |
|---|---|
| IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) | Built by using IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud, which enables an enterprise to establish its own private cloud-like computing environment on shared public cloud infrastructure. The architecture has options for using one or both of IBM Cloud® Virtual Servers for Virtual Private Cloud and Red Hat® OpenShift® on IBM Cloud® |
| IBM Cloud Satellite® | Built by using IBM Cloud Satellite, so you can create a hybrid environment that brings the scalability and on-demand flexibility of public cloud services to the applications and data that run in your secure private cloud (such as on-premises). |
| IBM Cloud® for VMware® Regulated Workloads | Built by using IBM Cloud for VMware Regulated Workloads, which is an extension of the VMware vCenter Server® offering. Its design extends and enhances the basic vCenter Server architecture to deliver a secure, high-performance platform. |
