Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power Systems Virtual Server
I was using IBM Power Systems Virtual Server for my small business I had for 7 years which was a screen printing company for apparel. I used it for web development for personal projects and to host clients websites.
- Super fast OS reload.
- Upgrading memory instantly.
- Ability to get billed by hour or monthly makes a world of difference for how you can use it to your advantage.
- Billing is AFFORDABLE!
- Honestly I am really impressed with IBM virtual servers, I can't think of much for improvement.
- A huge return on my investment because switching to a setup that fits my needs helps save me more money each month.
- I saved roughly 4X on the monthly amount.
- The ability to save images and OS reload them at any time or instantly run multiple servers for load balancing is incredibly useful to handle spikes of traffic.
As explained before switching from bare metal servers to virtual servers is a world of a difference financially and with performance. I would never go back to a bare metal servers. For example, before with bare metal servers I would have to file a support ticket to upgrade the ram and wait for support to get around to that upgrade while the server went down for a few hours. Doing that exact same process with virtual servers is within minutes! I'm truly blown away by this switch and wish I knew more about it earlier to save financially and to not worry about waiting forever on upgrades with the server.
