Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions

We use IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions to carry out demonstrations for our clients who want to use the cloud and see the facilities that the product has and how it works with instances of different uses, such as applications, databases, security communications, etc.We also use these services for our DX areas, where solutions are created for our clients.
  • Administration of Vcenter and its instances
  • Ease of creating instances of different types
  • High security for productive implementations
  • Improve admin dashboard deployment
  • Improve the help in the fields when a configuration is being carried out, making it more detailed
  • Streamline searching for services within the main IBM Cloud portal for beginner users
  • 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.
What has been obtained by using the VMware stack in the cloud with IBM is that our support environments, application development and the administration of the company itself have been greatly streamlined since we do not depend on the physical infrastructure of servers and storage. in the office, which had to be administered and maintained, which involves costs.By having all this in the IBM cloud, the expenses of some services such as electrical energy, cooling system, local network services and administration and service support for on-premisse equipment have been reduced.
In our case, the services of IBM specialists have been hired to help us carry out very specific configurations and with the help of all the documentation that is available, this also gives us an advantage since the IBM engineers when carrying out the tasks of configuration they do it together with our support engineers to whom they share the knowledge of what they are doing
Compared to AWS, I found the IBM Cloud for VMware solutions service very easy to use since the administration interface is intuitive, well distributed and easy to use, also in the way of performing configurations and deployments it has fewer steps than on AWS, the security seems very good to me both for the administration as well as for the use of the instances that are deployed
