What the transition to IBM means for HashiCorp customers: Greater value, same commitment
Learn about important product edition naming changes and other transitions as IBM and HashiCorp unify our foundation.
We’re excited to share that beginning September 1, 2025, all business operations for HashiCorp will officially transition to IBM. This marks an important milestone in our journey as HashiCorp, an IBM Company, and unlocks new opportunities for our customers while preserving the trust, continuity, and capabilities you've come to expect from HashiCorp. In this post, we will talk about our continuing mission and share several updates around product naming, billing operations, and support.
A stronger foundation — with familiar tools
Behind the scenes, we're laying the groundwork to provide long-term customer value by integrating HashiCorp products into IBM’s Automation portfolio. HashiCorp and IBM strongly believe in the power of unified lifecycle management that connects infrastructure, security, and operations through a single control plane.
Through our transition, the HashiCorp mission remains unchanged. We will continue to help our customers accelerate innovation, strengthen security, and optimize cloud ROI by simplifying hybrid cloud infrastructure and security management. We are thrilled about the opportunity to grow these capabilities within the IBM automation portfolio. Together, we will help customers transform their business with a unified foundation for hybrid cloud, built on trusted data and scalable operations that empower them to adopt AI with confidence and control.
» What’s changing
The naming convention for some products will be changing, notably around product editions. There will be no changes to the features included in each edition, this is simply a change in naming for consistency with the rest of the IBM portfolio.
HashiCorp edition name | IBM edition name |
Standard | Essentials |
Plus | Standard |
Premium | Premium |
A subset of customers using legacy products will be transitioned to current products as we streamline product offerings during our integration into IBM’s Automation portfolio. These customers will all be receiving newer products that come with additional features at the same price they have today. Those changes can be seen here.
HashiCorp Global Support systems will align with IBM Support
HashiCorp’s customer support systems will align with IBM’s world-class support, offering access to plans equivalent to existing coverage. More details will be available in the coming weeks.
IBM will be taking over billing operations for HashiCorp
HashiCorp customers will receive direct communications about their billing operations changes, but in short, all customers will receive new unique IBM customer numbers (existing IBM customers may continue to use their established account) and invoices will now be issued by IBM. There will be no billing or operational changes for PAYG (Pay as you go) customers at this time.
