Enhance your Power Systems environment by leveraging IBM's public cloud for greater flexibility and operational efficiency.
If you have relied on IBM i or AIX operating systems for their trusted security and performance capabilities but have historically been tied to on-premises environments for this value, here is your opportunity to scale that value into IBM’s public cloud which offers a scalable, cost-effective way to run your IBM AIX and IBM i workloads.
The IBM Power Systems Virtual Server on IBM Cloud enables clients to provision AIX or IBM i instances in the cloud and delivers three key values:
There are three target use cases; (1) DR, (2)Production and (3) Dev/Test. You should attend if your answer to any one of the following questions is a yes:
1- Disaster Recovery (DR):
Disaster Recovery (DR) without double commitment - Currently, AIX and IBM i clients need to build out their own datacenter to ensure DR. Now, with the Cloud, they get those options at a more affordable cost. Now, ID workloads can fail over to public cloud Power resources in case of a disastrous or catastrophic event. This frees up overhead costs for clients by eliminating the need for maintaining a separate data center in case of an emergency. This means clients can use their own on-premises infrastructure more efficiently. It also reduces the cost of overhead resources by allowing clients to pay for resources when as needed.
2- Production application workloads in the Cloud:
Run enterprise level Power workloads on the public Cloud - AIX and IBM i applications are no longer restricted to on on-premise. Help clients build out a hybrid cloud environment with the ability to host their AIX and IBM i apps in the public Cloud.
3- Development and Test:
Test Power with AIX and IBM i in the public Cloud - Power Systems clients are risk averse when it comes to their workloads. A separated environment gives them the ability to test out new versions of operating systems, hardware or run development and stress testing in an isolated space.
