IBM adds self-hosted deployment for IBM Bob, bringing its agentic software development platform to on-prem and air-gapped sites.
IBM announced self-hosted deployment for IBM Bob, its agentic software development platform for software delivery and modernization.
The option lets organizations run Bob on-premises, in private or sovereign clouds and in air-gapped environments, keeping sensitive source code, regulated data and workflows inside controlled infrastructure.
IBM targets regulated industries whose security and compliance rules limit use of public AI platforms, citing Futurum projections that hybrid and edge will capture 44% of the AI infrastructure market by 2030.
