Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers for IT department purposes serving the whole organization. Also we use VMs to offer to the market IaaS plus managed services.

For IT, the main reason we use it is to scale out different platforms and cost control.
  • Provisioning is fast
  • Management console is practical and mostly fulfills our needs
  • In general, expand system information regarding resources usage and trends
  • It has helped reduce 15% IT spend on servers workloads
In my region (Central America) Amazon and Azure are the main competition. I selected IBM Cloud because of the support and price performance.
It’s a great product for general purpose VMs. For SAP workloads need to have more certified options to avoid jumping to a bigger VMs
