IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

My company made a decision to deploy a key part of our technology stack by making use of the IBM Cloud Virtual Servers. Our core requirement was to make use of two IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to host our functionality for social media and news collection and analysis. This functionality is offered as part our wider application and services a variety of commercial clients, to provide them with location specific and high relevance information concerning certain set subjects. We required the highest levels of availability and reliability from the IBM Virtual Cloud Servers.

Transient pricing has had no impact as we were unable to successfully achieve a working implementation of IBM Cloud Virtual Servers.

We've been using IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Virtual Servers. The support is excellent and plays to IBM's strengths.

We've never had onsite/hosted servers, so this is the same as any cloud service provider.

IBM Cloud Virtual Server is being used by different development teams in our organization for creating, managing, and scaling the virtual servers as per the demand and requirement for different software and applications. We have development, UAT, and Production servers for multiple and changing requirements and need.

IBM Cloud Virtual Servers enable our company to quickly and easily create and manage virtual servers in the cloud. We can use them to run our applications, test new software, and scale our infrastructure as needed. The scope of our use case is to create and manage virtual servers, and this product helps us do that. The business problems addressed by IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are the time and cost to provision and manage cloud servers. This product's ability to quickly and easily create new virtual servers reduces the amount of time it takes to get our applications up and running. And the ability to manage servers from a single console helps reduce the cost of managing our infrastructure. Overall, IBM Cloud Virtual Servers help us save time and money, which enables us to focus on our core business.

Transient pricing enabled organizations to run flexible workloads on spare capacity. It was a fraction of the cost of dedicated servers. The impact that transient pricing had on my organization is that it allowed management to be more flexible with the resources. By being able to use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers, we were able to save money and still get the performance we needed.

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to provide testing and production VMs for teams within our software organization. Our main use case is the need for easy to deploy servers that have good availability and that are also easy for our DevOps team to configure to suit various testing and automated testing needs.

It's nice that we only get charged for what we use, the pricing structure is straightforward and it's great that it's built-in and we don't have to go through reallocations in order to get more or less capacity. This makes it easy for us to bring on or obsolete test environments quickly and without incurring unnecessary costs.

We are in Deep Tech space ( or DeepLearning ). We use AI to create voice that will almost sound like human. So mostly, We use IBM's Virtual GPU servers for training and evaluating our deep-learning models.

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to host and deploy our project for instances. There was an auto scaling issue in our organization, but IBM Cloud Virtual Servers is good at that, so we don't need to worry much about that. We store our databases as well to make them more scalable and secure them on the server.

Instead of having its own on-premises servers, having this cloud as a hybrid will help reduce costs. The transitional costs that IBM offers for virtual workers in the cloud permits our association to build up extra information is just a small portion of the expense. This is a helpful choice that limits costs.

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to deploy and host our code for running our instances. The auto-scaling issue was our major focus problem and IBM cloud virtual servers handled this ease in our organization. We use it for team-specific projects to deploy, We store our database as well to make them more scalable and secure on the server.

Flexible and scalable compute is a cornerstone of the cloud revolution. IBM Cloud Virtual Servers allows us to spin up any number of virtual machines of varying configurations to support our system's workload. The ability to scale up on demand allows us to support [our] user base throughout changes.

We haven't used the transient virtual server offering, but it should save a lot in costs.

We are using IBM virtual cloud server for the deployment of our web application over a high-speed and secured cloud environment. I like it most because they provide virtualized dedicated server. They are delivering the highest Uptime with great performance. Compute work of a large company can be performed with [these] virtual servers.

I like this feature because it allows us to spend on what we need at the time. That means that we pay on an as per our need. Their pricing structure is easy to understand. For smaller businesses, IBM transient pricing is very helpful.

IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are a very easy-to-use and well-documented product, we use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers as our test environment for most of our projects. we also use other virtual servers providers but IBM offers much easier control of the Cloud Virtual Servers

Transient pricing for IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are very helpful it helps to set up our testing environment in the IBM cloud space, the pricing is very clean and transparent which is predictable this allows [scaling] quickly when we need extra resources at peak time

We are using IBM Cloud Virtual Servers for our customers for application hosting. The auto-scaling feature is most effective and helped our customers without any issues. We also use our databases on virtual servers as they are more secure and reliable.

Transient pricing is good easy to calculate and make decisions on which servers can be used and performed. We mostly calculate on bulk servers so it's easy for us to choose between cloud vendors.

IBM Cloud Virtual Servers has helped to implement virtualized, single-tenant, dedicated servers. We already had a setup on IBM P series and planned to migrate the setup on Cloud. Took help form the vendor i.e. IBM on the support documents and I must say they have maintained the KB very well and are self sufficient to help implement the migration. This was a setup of Migration from 70 IBM P-series servers to IBM Cloud Virtual environment.

This has literally reduced the cost of the overall setup as we were paying a lot on the DC pricing and further AMC values where clients used to encounter the high outages and some places where the point in time recovery was almost not-possible. The cost has reduced to almost 60% of what we used to pay before.

Our goal was to create SAP HANA DB on a Power Virtual Server instance on IBM Cloud to demonstrate to customers that SAP HANA on Power Virtual Server has an advantage because the machine is much more performant than competitors' offerings.

Power Virtual Server is charged per hour so it is possible to reserve the machine only for short time. Once the machine is reserved is not possible to change the amount of memory, is static.

We mainly rely on IBM Cloud Virtual Services as a webs server and DNS for our client's websites, as well as our own, main company website. We also rely heavily on the Virtual Server for testing new features and finding bugs before deployment.

The transient pricing model is amazingly helpful. It is very helpful to be able to set up simulations for testing and get them running, and then step away for a break or lunch and it was at a very competitive price. As a smaller business, I appreciate when we can spend less if we use less and that's exactly how this pricing model is set up. Win-win!

We use IBM cloud services for production servers and testing servers. We directly host our development to VPC for client approvals before final deployment to [the] production environment. After clients' approvals, we proceed to [the] production server and delivery. Sometimes before delivering to clients we need to test more load and some other things that work under our organization and it should be in our infrastructure only so IBM VPC is [the] best option for us.

This is [a] cost-effective solution infrastructure as a service as monthly or hourly charges which reduce [the] cost of development as you use it as per your need. When you are out of work you simply stop service and it's no billing for particular the session when your service is stopped. This saves [a] lot of your development cost.

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers, called also VSI (Virtual Server Instance), in various ways:

• Some services for our customers (e.g. mail server, web server, DNS).

• Some internal services, that for various reasons, we prefer to keep separate from the main infrastructure.

This is really a plus: IBM Cloud pricing is very clear and predictable with simple calculators. The ability to dynamically change the amount of CPU and RAM. Storage IOPS of a VM saves a lot of money when performance is not needed, as well as allows you to scale quickly when more resources are required at peak times.

We are using IBM cloud virtual servers in Symantec data loss prevention enterprise server as storage.

Yes, it has more convenient options on flexible pricing, on-demand purchases, etc.

Our production, testing, and dev servers all run IBM Cloud VPC.

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers in our IT department. We use this software for email, a database, apps, and a website server. We particularly use this IBM Virtual Server because it allows creating email virtual servers, unlike other virtual server providers. We have also used IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to host our web-based applications and systems. What makes IBM Cloud Virtual Servers even better is that it offers easy control of the servers. It has been very helpful to our business.

This feature allows us to spend on what we need only. This means that we pay on an as need basis, which makes IBM Cloud Virtual Servers affordable.

We have deployed all our services in IBM Cloud Virtual Servers. It serves all HTTP and HTTPS requests for corp CMS, application, and API for internet users.

We have not used this.

It's used for an easier and more manageable control of the servers. Sometimes for instance if one project requires a server where to do all the testing we can easily do so thanks to IBM Cloud Virtual Servers. It also makes much easier the launch of a new project online.

This is a great possibility, unfortunately I never had opportunity of checking it.

IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are being used for machine learning training and for software development.

Immediate access to the V100 and P100 GPU and 32-core CPUs allows quick testing of machine learning models and methods along with the ease of saving templates and instantiating new servers provides an extraordinarily smooth development process.

JetBrains' Projector has been recently adopted as a means to develop code on a remote machine with a much better experience than remote desktops.

The IBM Cloud Virtual Server interface is simple enough to make the instantiation of a new instance seamless.

I ran a full day's worth of simulations during my lunch break for less than the cost of extra syrup in my latte.

With a few shell scripts and minor adaptations to the Java-Pommerman launch code, I was able to spread tests of the AI across 32 cores at little to no cost.

Preemptible instances can also be used for compiling large C++ codebases using resources that don't need to be constantly available. The net result is that you can get the benefits of having a compilation farm at relatively no cost. This can be used for producing daily builds, while also carrying out other computationally intensive procedures.

We presently use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers as our primary component for provisioning virtual infrastructure to host our internal applications on.

Transient pricing has allowed customers to come to us with their specifications and needs in mind for their infrastructure development and provisioning, greatly decreasing our turnaround time to build out infrastructure and host applications.

Our organization is using IBM Cloud Virtual Server for hosting our personal and public websites. We used to deploy and host using all types of instances and use Cloud to store our database virtually. We are also using IBM Cloud for developing and testing our environment. Also, IBM provides a protected cloud server.

Pricing is economical with respect to services IBM provides, but the cost may go high for some use case functions.
