IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers - VPC

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

We started to use the [IBM Cloud Virtual Cloud] (VPC) (gen1) platform as a quick and easy way to provide connectivity from several on-premise networks into the IBM cloud using IPSEC site to site VPN's. At the time, the VPC (gen1) platform also provided the necessary connectivity to the Power Series networks. This was completed prior to setting up a gateway appliance within the Classic Inf. Gen1 VPC's are now being deprecated in favor of Gen2.

  • IBM Cloud Direct Link
Connecting a VPC, Classic Inf and a Power Series Network is not the simplest of operations, but is well supported.
Direct Links and Transit Gateways are required in this scenario.
A quick and easy way to provide connectivity from several on-premise networks into IBM using IPSEC site to site VPN's.
Easy to manage.
Cost effective.
Of course, a [IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud] (VPC) doesn't provide the same level of granularity one can achieve with a managed firewall / gateway appliance.
