Abstract
Enterprises adopting hybrid cloud and AI technologies require a flexible infrastructure for performance, security, and interoperability. This adaptability enables organizations to remain competitive, cut costs, and better respond to customer demands. To achieve this, enterprises need platforms that allow for quick adjustments in workload management and placement, focusing on business outcomes over infrastructure maintenance. IBM's Hybrid Cloud strategy prioritizes flexibility and choice.
IBM Power Virtual Server has provided infrastructure-as-a-service globally since its 2019 launch, combining compute, storage, and networking in IBM data centers. This reliable architecture supports mission-critical workloads and facilitates easy cloud migration without refactoring. IBM has introduced a new Private Cloud version of IBM Power Virtual Server, which installs infrastructure in a client data center, connecting a local zone to IBM Cloud and offering a consistent as-a-service experience. This model enhances agility, reliability, and security, optimizing IT operations for diverse enterprise needs.
IBM Power Virtual Server Private Cloud helps customers leverage hybrid cloud architecture benefits, even when workloads are regulated, or data must stay in a specific country due to government regulations.
