What is IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions?
IBM Cloud for VMware
Solutions is designed to make cloud adoption easier, allowing the user to optimize the
value of existing on-premises infrastructure, while leveraging the
same tools, technologies and skills in the cloud. The solution provides rapid scalability,
deployment in 35+ global data centers and access to disaster
recovery, backup, security and compliance solutions from an array of ecosystem
partners.
To address varying workload needs, IBM Cloud offers both client-managed and IBM-managed VMware solutions. The client-managed solution, IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions Dedicated, includes VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter options in a monthly subscription model on a single-tenant infrastructure. Both run on bare metal servers enabling secure, single-tenant deployments. Additionally, the same root level hypervisor access can be retained as with an on-premises cloud. These models improve compatibility and increase cloud agility.
The IBM-managed solution, IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions Shared, leverages VMware vCloud Director in an hourly or monthly consumption model on a multi-tenant infrastructure. This self-service solution provides a way to start migrating virtual machines (VMs) to the cloud in a matter of minutes. IBM Cloud manages the hypervisor, so users don’t have to worry about managing, patching or updates. The vendor describes this model as flexible and cost-effective for scalability.

VDI solution on IBM Cloud
- Discounts from competitors
- Technical Management costs
- Solution Delivery cost
- Has reduced the cost of what was paid for the customer demonstration environment
- The cost of the development environment has been reduced since we do not use it on demand and thus we do not have dedicated physical equipment
- The deployment of test environments and/or applications already in production is carried out more agilely and quickly.

We thought we had the best solution with Veeam, then came IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions...
- We had a competitor that was hijacked by a ransomware and it cost them a total of $55k and 5 days of being offline to recover the data. Our backups can at the worst, miss one day of work and we will be back up and running.
- The ease of mind to explore all different applications, knowing that the VMware allows us to use the virtual server to test them, is also very liberating and allows all possibilities when it comes to trying new software.

IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions
- It emphatically affects the expense needed to keep up our vSphere climate by permitting us to dispose of our vSphere equipment and not stress over upkeep by the same token.
- There have been not very many negatives, however one would be the open-finished expense related with cloud items when all is said in done.

Low cost but no support
- We wasted three months and countless hours, but it did not cost much with IBM
- One of our business objectives was to ensure as close to 100% uptime of our servers and applications. This solution has helped us achieve that goal.
- Another goal was to try and minimize our datacenter footprint. This was achieved by using the product.

Our pleasant experience with vsphere cloud
- 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.
