Power Systems Virtual Server on IBM Cloud for IBMi

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power System Virtual Server

Power System Virtual Server hosted by IBM is currently running all our SAP systems. There are a few HANA servers and a lot of Linux servers in our system that are being used daily by end-users. The production relies on these servers to keep everything running smoothly. These servers must be available 24/7, all year round, including on holidays.

Pros

  • Infrastructure with flexibility
  • Environment in a hybrid cloud
  • Excellent assistance in resolving the issue
  • Maintenance has a lot of freedom

Cons

  • Access from a variety of devices
  • When we require the assistance of more specialized personnel, some situations may be more difficult to settle.

  • We didn't need to upgrade our hardware in our data center on-premise.
We were previously hosted at SAP HEC before migrating to IBM. After a few years, we discovered that our server was actually hosted in an IBM data center. We decided to move to IBM in order to lower the cost of third parties that are only acting as intermediaries and slow down the resolution on high-priority cases.
IBM Power System Virtual Server was able to solve security and scalability issues most of the time. There were times when IBM Power System Virtual Server was not working properly. It's a good idea to have it running at 95% efficiency. It also depends on scaling factors or users.
IBM Power System Virtual Server is able to provide guidance to users on how to use it. It's easy to use, and it would be helpful for new members to have a brief walkthrough. This helped me develop the product quickly, and delivered the business results. It will remain the same, I hope.
IBM Power System Virtual Server is recommended for high read-write requests, such as up to 10000 queries/second. It is very reliable and fast. It is very reliable within an organization, although the latency may be slightly higher when used in the cloud. It is better to use it at an edge location than in the cloud.
