Power VS allowed us to lighten the management of the infrastructure component and focus on the specifications that satisfy our service standards. The security and ease of implementation have surprisingly made all operations easier. We will move other environments to this solution as we will be able to better direct investments towards the application component and security

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 previously were using SUSE Linux 7 and 8 and were facing lot of issues related to performance on these servers. Switching to IBM Power Virtual Server has been a charm in improving our application performance and significantly reducing the SLA related to performance for several applications. The ease of access of IBM Power Virtual Server is also excellent and very user friendly.

Our organization had on premise servers, but has been transitioning to cloud since last 2 years. This product has enabled us to reduce number of physical servers and thus saving costs. It is currently being used in different projects ranging from our application to simulations by research team (which is heavy on computation and needs to be robust.

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.
