IBM acquired public cloud platform SoftLayer in June 2013 to serve as the foundation for its IaaS offering.[3][4]
Bluemix was announced for public beta in February 2014, with general availability offered in July 2014.[5]
By April 2015, Bluemix included a suite of over 100 cloud-based development tools, including services to support social, mobile, security, analytics, database, and internet of things development and deployment.
In October 2017, IBM unified the entire cloud portfolio under the IBM Cloud brand.[6][7]
