This usually affects businesses in the financial services and risk-management industries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We&#8217;ve talked to customers and they love Bluemix but for legal and compliance reasons, they have to have it in country.&#8221; \u2014Jeff Brent, Senior Product Manager, IBM<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Focus on open-source technologies and cloud platforms.<\/strong> The enterprise has begun or wants to begin developing cloud apps using Cloud Foundry and to focus on DevOps but is having trouble with regards to maintaining the environment and keeping up with open source strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Issues with cloud and legacy apps integration.<\/strong> The enterprise wants to integrate existing legacy apps and data. This is made simpler using <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.ibm.com\/bluemix\/2015\/04\/06\/getting-started-bluemix-api-management-service\/\" target=\"_blank\">API management<\/a> which is locally deployed as a Bluemix service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Interest in particular Bluemix services.<\/strong> The enterprise is interested in a specific service that is readily available in the syndicated Bluemix catalog. Services that are sought after here will fall under IBM services (IBM Watson\/IoT, mobile, data services), and open source and third-party services (Twilio, MongoDB, Redis, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We have several customers that are interested in one of our services and Watson has come up a number of times.&#8221; \u2014Jeff Brent, Senior Product Manager, IBM<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>The lack of Ops engineers.<\/strong> The enterprise does not want to or cannot staff operations for Bluemix on cloud.

Despite this, the user experience on Bluemix Local should still be very similar to its cloud-based version and because of this, it&#8217;s easy for users to switch and adjust between Bluemix deployments.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;For the most part, we see people say &#8216;I can&#8217;t go into Bluemix cloud for legal and other reasons, so I need to have this running in my shop.'&#8221; \u2014Andre Tost, Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to get started with Bluemix Local.
