Power Systems Virtual Server on IBM Cloud for IBMi

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power System Virtual Server

As of now, It’s used only for an IoT project where the user gets the information regarding their electricity usage. For storing the live data, it is used. And we’re looking forward to using IBM products mainly the blockchain ones to integrate into our processes. As there is a huge demand for Blockchain in the coming days, we look forward to using it.

From the starting of the 18th century, IBM is leading the IT industry. Not actually the industry but the IT in R&D, IBM is the one to build computers. That’s the reason, IBM is very old in this market and its T&D is pretty well that’s the reason I chose IBM
Most of the time, IBM Power System Virtual Server worked for security issues and scalability. But there were some times where we had downtime with IBM Power System Virtual Server. If it is having more than 95% efficiency then it’s very good to go. And also depends on the scaling factor or the users
IBM Power System Virtual Server has the innate ability to guide the user on how to use it. I mean it’s very easy to use and a quick walkthrough for a new joiner would be helpful. And this helped me to develop the product quickly and deliver the business outcomes. I hope it remains the same.
Mirantis Cloud Native Suite (Docker Enterprise), Google Kubernetes Engine, PostgreSQL
I recommend IBM Power System Virtual Server where the read-write requests are high like up to 10000 queries per second. It’s very quick and durable. It works pretty well within an organization and the latency is slightly increased while using in the cloud. So, It’s always best to use it at the edge rather than in the cloud.
