Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our goal was to create SAP HANA DB on a Power Virtual Server instance on IBM Cloud to demonstrate to customers that SAP HANA on Power Virtual Server has an advantage because the machine is much more performant than competitors' offerings.

Pros and Cons

Super fast Internet connection

In some location the are not free machines
In some locations will generate error during the creation

Return on Investment

Only IBM has so powerful machine
It is expensive but the performance is extremely high

IBM Cloud Virtual Servers Transient Pricing

Power Virtual Server is charged per hour so it is possible to reserve the machine only for short time. Once the machine is reserved is not possible to change the amount of memory, is static.

Alternatives Considered

SAP HANA

IBM Power Virtual server offers machines certified by SAP. This means that SAP HANA runs perfectly without bottlenecks due to underpowered hardware.

Other Software Used

IBM Cloud Object Storage, IBM API Connect, IBM Cloud App ID

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need a super-performing machine then IBM Power Virtual Server is the best choice. But of course, nothing is free and the price will be very expensive. You need to really know what do you need in advance or you going to pay a lot of money. They offer also the possibility to have a development machine (with low memory) at reduced prices.

Power Virtual Server is the most powerful service on cloud
