HashiCorp, which is now an IBM company, is a leading provider of software that enables organisations to automate and secure their IT infrastructure across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The company delivers its capabilities through an integrated platform it calls The Infrastructure Cloud™.
Instead of focusing on specific technologies, HashiCorp’s approach centres on standardised workflows for two critical domains:
- Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM): Automating the process of provisioning, deploying, and managing infrastructure.
- Security Lifecycle Management (SLM): Implementing identity-based security and managing secrets and access.
The company’s software suite – built on popular, widely-adopted open-source projects – is foundational to many of the world’s most critical applications, helping enterprises achieve efficiency, security, and scalability as they move to and operate in the cloud. Its products are relied upon by organisations of all sizes to manage the full lifecycle of their infrastructure and security.
HashiCorp offers these solutions through the HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) for managed services, as well as self-hosted enterprise offerings. The widespread adoption of its tools is underscored by its products being downloaded over half a billion times by software practitioners last year.
