It uses port 9060 for connection as the default administration port and port 9080 as the default website publication port. It works with a number of Web servers including Apache HTTP Server, Netscape Enterprise Server, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), IBM HTTP Server for i5/OS, IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, and IBM HTTP Server for AIX/ Linux/ Microsoft Windows/ Solaris. Platform exploitation, to the extent it takes place, is done below the open standard specification line. Beginning with Version 6.1 and now into Version 9.0, the open standard specifications are aligned and common across all the platforms. It runs on the following platforms: Windows, AIX, Linux, Solaris, IBM i and z/OS. It is also offering CLM as a service through SmartCloud.WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is built using open standards such as Java EE, XML, and Web Services. The company also now offers a development management service specifically for government agencies, called IBM SmartCloud for Government, which complies with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) security standards.

It can work with both IBM development software as well as with popular third-party software, such as Puppet. This platform 'allows you to establish a pipeline of moving bits through various test cases,' Grama said. A new pilot called, IBM SmartCloud Continuous Delivery, provides a way to coordinate project development using DevOps methodology.

IBM has introduced a number of new development services on its SmartCloud hosted offerings. This is also the first version of the software to incorporate the virtual testing environments that IBM acquired when it purchased Green Hat in January. The new version of CLM, 4.0, can now be run across a cluster of servers, which will allow for larger development environments. With this information, CLM summarizes how a project is progressing as it moves through development to testing to production. CLM coordinates information across a number of other IBM Rational products, namely IBM Rational Requirements Composer, IBM Rational Team Concert, and IBM Rational Quality Manager. IBM's Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) software is one of the updated products. IBM: The rapidly changing role of top security executives 'We've been building software to deal with cloud as a production environment and mobile as an avenue to deliver business applications,' said Harish Grama, IBM vice president of Rational product development. With a focus on both cloud and mobile, IBM has updated its Rational line of software development management products and services, the company announced Monday during the kick off its annual Innovate software conference, being held this week in Orlando.
