IBM blue mix: Future development with open cloud architecture

The process of building applications has been a journey and it varies depending on one's application requirements and purpose. But the fundamental requirements and constraints for developing a software product remain the same: knowing your system inside and out, defining and meeting your expected requirements, and automating processes to increase effectiveness are all building blocks for creating software solutions. IBM Blue Mix is a deployment platform for new as well as experienced developers with cloud advantage. In this paper, we have highlighted concepts of latest cloud offering from IBM Blue Mix; a technology that provides a dashboard for developers to quickly and easily create, view, manage and monitor all their applications and services along with their resource usage on cloud. Along with the needs and benefits of IBM Blue Mix, we have also given a brief summary of some of the competitors of IBM Blue Mix in the market. The motive behind the paper is to make us understand the importance of building an application in a cloud operating environment using IBM Blue Mix with its integrated source code management and collaboration tools.
