IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions vs. Navisite Managed Infrastructure Services (NaviCloud) vs. SCloud UHost

Clarify before hand any additional charges for remote hand and arrangement/SLA for remote hand. Negotiate well on these terms as they tend to be more flexible around this. Clarify shipping and handling charges if any.

SCloud UHost offers scalable and reliable cloud compute instances with diverse configurations for varied application needs that ensures optimal performance. Its consistent speed and minimal downtime enhance overall reliability, contributing to uninterrupted business operations. SCloud UHost's seamless integration with SCloud services streamlines our cloud ecosystem for operational efficiency. SCloud UHost is less suited for small workloads if you wish to maximise per dollar spent. For smaller workloads, use SCloud ULightHost instead.

• Adaptable valuing relying upon size and scale.
• The presentation is first rate. Our on-prem climate was continually experiencing slack and general languor. With IBM running everything, it's much smoother.
• Start another group as little as one ESXi worker or scale a current bunch.

• 24/7 monitoring
• Immediate notification in the event of failures
• Dedicated Senior DBA

• Support is horrible and or non-existent
• Documentation is out of date and incorrect for the most part
• IBM employees and salespeople are not aware of features or offerings
• Does not integrate the Zerto, only Veeam and has limited options for data migration

• San Jose facility power outage caused damage to company's credibility, this should not occur again being 7x24 facility and backup generator
• Avoiding too many management changes will help create good connection with individuals for sustained harmony

Price and facility equipment, location of the hosting facility factor into the decision to renew

It is easy to use and setting it up is simple. The only con is that the pricing is a little bit high as well as documentation is a little low; so we had to do some personal learning to be able to fully utilize the product, or hop on the phone with someone.

Overall, just a great experience here. No one in my opinion gets a perfect 10/10 rating (no one is ever perfect), so 9/10 is probably as good as it gets! From initial planning to post implementation support, the IBM Cloud and professional services has been there for my group as much as we have needed them. Great job!

IBM professional services helped us plan and implement the project with great success. They guided the project from planning, scoping, pre-implementation, testing, roll-out, then production and post-production support. We were very impressed with their knowledge of VMware and really appreciated their desire to make our project a success. I would highly recommend them!

IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions stacks up against them, we fully agree there are so many features in IBM cloud for VMware Solutions that make it unique and different. The system provides us hypervisor security level and the system even has live backup and storage capacity of data. This system provides us with accuracy that helps us to reduce errors and vulnerability.

Navisite's rates were better and they seemed to have more SQL Server expertise. This was about 5 years ago and it may not be the case anymore

Both Azure and Oracle offer some sort of lock in, either by the initial discounts or software. What is truly locked in are our data and we really thought carefully from day one as we are a corporate. Even in thinking of going multi-cloud, we are afraid of big vendors like them. We came across SCloud UHost in an event and proceeded to try and never regretted onwards. Good job to the SCloud UHost team and their management for such great products at competitive prices.

• It has a positive impact on the cost required to maintain our vSphere environment by allowing us to get rid of our vsphere hardware and not worry about maintenance either.
• There have been very few negatives, but one would definitely be the open-ended cost associated with cloud products in general.

Incentivized

• Cost savings by not having a full-time DBA on staff - saving of at least 50K a year
• Data team not on call 24/7
• Navisite team will try to fix issue if possible - e.g. shrink log files that have grown

Incentivized

• Time to Market 10-15% faster
• Spending on compute 15-25% lower
