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.

IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions
- 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.

Low cost but no support
- Low cost
- Ability to add or remove resources easily and quickly
- 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- Documentation is out of date and incorrect for the most part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
- Expandability: Allows us to add more capacity very easily.
- We like that IBM is a one-stop shop that offers a complete setup without having to deal with multiple vendors.
- The startup implementation was a pretty difficult process.
- The documentation we felt was rather lacking and could be improved.

Our pleasant experience with vsphere cloud
- The performance is top notch. Our on-prem environment was always suffering from lag and general sluggishness. With IBM running everything, it's much smoother.
- It's always up to date. Our previous environment was always lacking the latest updates and security features. Our audit department enjoys having the peace of mind that everything is up to date.
- They handle the security of the environment. It allows our security team to focus on higher priority issues. They dont have to worry about making sure our systems are secured.
- I wish it were a bit easier to manage user access.
- The initial configuration process could be a bit more streamlined.
