Power Systems Virtual Server on IBM Cloud for AIX/Linux

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power Virtual Server

I provide enablement on IBM Power Virtual Server and as part of it use the product a lot

Pros

  • spin power VSIs
  • provide the same power stack as on prem
  • integrates well with other IBM cloud services

Cons

  • In my opinion, IBM Power Virtual Server has room for improvement because the UI is laggy
  • I thinks there is room for improvement with IBM Power Virtual Server because the network config is complex
  • easily migrate to cloud
  • laggy UI gives a bad UX
same arch as on premise server
make network seamless, reduce need for cloud tickets and overall make the whole IBM Power Virtual Server more reliable and robust
