Modules Used

IBM Cloud Virtual Servers for VPC

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use IBM's VPC infrastructure as a means to securely host our virtual infrastructure. During COVID, VDI and other remote applications became a requirement for our clients and their remote stakeholders. We found the price to be also competitive with other cloud offerings (Azure, AWS, GCP, etc).

Likelihood to Recommend

Security and scalability were our two big factors in choosing IBM's VPC. Our data was hosted in a secure and isolated environment, allowing our organizations to maintain control over sensitive information. It also allowed our organizations to easily scale their infrastructure up or down to meet changing needs, without the need to purchase and maintain physical hardware.

Implementation Rating

Support was fantastic. At some point, we're hoping for hardware security devices like Yubikey to be a feature.
