IBM Power Virtual Server vs. vmgen

Due to its reliability, it is well-suited for mission-critical applications. It is also well suited for running multiple applications on a single server and fully utilizing the server's full capacity. However, it is not well suited for servers that require dedicated IO resources.

vmgen is a great solution because it's very simple and easy to use. It doesn't have many features, but that makes it clear and uncomplicated

• It is easy to segregate test environment with production environment
• security and compliance
• IBM server are scalable with - with increase in data it can dynamically allocate the resources with saves the company cost
• it is very convenient to use with help of its hardware management console and integrated virtualization manager.
• The best part it , it support our legacy system.

• virtual machines
• IaaS
• cloud computing

• Having a wider selection of software to work with would be welcome.
• Training and education is daunting at first and could be simplified.
• Much of the automation is wonderful after it is set up but getting started has a steep learning curve.

Incentivized

• number of features
• support
• BGP

At the moment we are 100% satisfied with the performance and our support team is well used to the process involved. So unless we have some major issues in adopting, we are sure to be with IBM itself.

As with most IBM products the ongoing support for IBM Power Virtual Server is solid and consistent. IBM provides a clear roadmap for receiving support of their products. Both voice and online response is offered. It is obvious that IBM has the internal systems and culture to maintain support functions. This starts from the initial support call to the problem analysis and continues through the problem resolution. Documentation and communication are consistent within this process.

They both have their own ups and downs and it totally depends on the team which suits them best. IBM Power Virtual Server has Performance, Scalability, Reliability and Availability, Compatibility, and Good Vendor Support. The specific use case and workload requirements played a significant role. Some workloads may benefit from IBM Power Systems' architecture, while others may perform equally well on alternative platforms.

vmgen is simple and intuitive, has clear pricing and is easy to use. We didn't need to employ a DevOps Engineer to configure it. The cost of vmgen is predictable and cost-effective.

It is efficient.

Incentivized

• We have had a return on investment of 30%.
• There have also been 80% fewer application crashes due to a lack of resources that previously ran on the X86 platform.
• Administration management has been simplified and staff can dedicate themselves to the development of applications, instead of providing support to users when the applications do not respond efficiently, this made staff 45% more productive.

Incentivized

• reduced cost of infractructure
• reduced cost of maintanance
• improved productivity
