We are using it to manage our AIX servers on Power 8 and Power 9. Since we acquired it, configuration setup for a new server request has been much easier, saving us the time. We have created templates for various requirements and just mount it when a user places a request in SysAid ITSM tool

In my organization IBM virtual server is used to capture data. We have EDMS- Electronic document managements system for capturing electronic, E-log book for capturing activity data, QMS software, LMS and Saba software all on IBM virtual server. The problem solves is we don't have to maintain out onsite server as we have virtual server. My organization both primary and secondary server is of IBM. IBM provides us great service, security and large space to capture our. With pharma 4.0 digitalization is in all pharma industry, with this the use of server will increase.

We use the Power Virtual Server for development and demonstrations to our clients who currently have on-premise equipment, and some currently have AS/400 running with it; we try to bring them closer to technological change, updating their applications and improving the way they can provide efficient service to users who already use the applications.

IBM Power Systems Virtual Server helped us cut down on the costs of our data center by eliminating the use of physical servers. We have lowered our expenses by lowering costs for environmental control. It has also eliminated the need for automated tape libraries and the inherent issues that come with ATLs and physical storage media by utilizing the virtual servers' Flash-based storage. Cloud flash-based storage and the HA options have drastically improved the efficiency of system backups and restore, allowing for an absolute minimum down time for end-users running 24/7 mission-critical applications
