IBM Power System Virtual Server is well suited because they have very fast, cloud based servers that are secure and able to be used with vast amounts of data. Scenarios where this would be less ideal would be if you are dealing with teams who are abroad and require servicing or support in local language, but otherwise, highlight recommend.
