Power Systems Virtual Server on IBM Cloud for IBMi

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power System Virtual Server

We use the IBM [Power System Virtual Server] cloud as on the web link cloud.ibm.com and we have gotten the login credential for it. Once we log in, we get the same Green screen as we are doing AS400 stuff on the AS400 emulator. It's quick and easy to handle. All the utilities are available [there]. I don't know how it has been configured on the cloud but too much user-friendly. No need to install any IBM [Power System Virtual Server] software on PC. Thanks

  • We are able to achieve the business objectives
  • Good for every thing till now
  • Able to utilize most of the configuration of it.
We had lots of functionalities under one umbrella like, VMware, code engine, API management, app development, [and] lots of other services.
Yes, it's very easy to handle the code and data in a secured way. Security and Compliance is one of the features on it.
All the user activities can be easily monitored and taken preservative measures to avoid any huge user error. As it is a single platform so we can easily use all applications within less time frame, which saves a lot of time for other application patches.
The server gets auto time out or is disconnected if we are idle for 5-10 min. I don't know whether we can adjust this time.
