  • Improved breach of SLA's by offering better performance
  • Handled extremely high analytical workloads with ease
  • Integration with Watson has provided better business insights
The pricing of IBM Power Virtual Server was extremely fair and feasible compared with other products like Windows or Suse or Redhat. The ease of use of IBM Power Virtual Server is also really great with an excellent UI. It is also capable in handling high analytical workloads which were frequently failing when we were using SUSE servers.
Data availability is one of the essential features of IBM Power Virtual Server which makes us love the product. We have used many products of competitors in the past and have had data loss scenarios and outages were really frequent. The support provided by IBM team is also seamless and has improved our SLA's with business on several layers.
The UI of IBM Power Virtual Server is extremely well oriented and simple making it easier for new employees to learn and adapt to this product quickly. We had several issues with human prone errors due a bad UI interface when we used some of its competitors. The code is well thought of and works well under complex scenarios too.
It is amazing for scenarios where high work loads related to OLAP transactions for business reporting have to be performed. It is also excellent in integration with AI tools like Watson to improve the business reporting further. It also provides the flexibility of a hybrid cloud scenario and can integrate well with on-premises systems.
