Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power Systems Virtual Server
I implemented the Power Systems Virtual Server at one of my client locations and only for a specific department. It helped eliminate the need to stand up additional on-premises hardware as we were able to set up the virtual servers in the cloud with the hybrid model.
- Scales very well.
- Handles large amounts of traffic and data.
- Is very reliable with close to 99.99% up-time.
- Very easy to customize and set up new servers.
- The pricing model could use some improvement to be more cost competitive.
- Ability to stand up on premise virtual servers in the same environment more quickly.
- Ability to use various non IBM GPU's.
- We were able to save the client the cost of purchasing on-premise hardware.
- By allowing for a hybrid cloud model we could keep on premise secure hardware along with cloud-based virtual servers.
IBM is very competitive and has most of the same features as the other products. The other products did not have a cost-competitive hybrid cloud model and primarily were cloud-based.
