November 30, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions for 2 purposes. One is to create backups within the server as a running VM. This usage is nightly and weekly. The other is by creating a virtual server that replicates our main one to run and install any major applications or any major updates to make sure of the process and working out any issues before implementing on the actual server.

Pros

Replicating complex machines like a server.
Creating reliable and fast backups.

Cons

The backup function can use a bit more speed.
The ease of being able to find and recover any missing data from a particular backup date needs to improve.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is a very well designed application to help creating reliable and rather fast nightly backups. These backups can be made into incremental and/or a full one. We do nightly incremental and weekly full ones. The ability to be able to replicate a server to make sure any potential disasters are avoided by running a mock test is invaluable and priceless.

Best Realtime and usage review for IBM Cloud for VMWARE Solutions

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

November 23, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Cloud with VMware provides flexibility it allows multiple deployments which is the major reason why we have used it during our deployments. It helped us to give permits zero in more on the actual applications, We basically integrated it to VDI Environment so that we can easily access the application resources. We also expanded our capacity as per our requirements[.]

Pros

Supports multiple IBM platforms[.]
Monthly subscription[.]
Provides users with the ability to provision bare metal workloads[.]

Cons

Needs better support for workflow software like Terraform and Ansible[.]
The web interface part could utilize some work. Especially, execution in various programs.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions would be a good fit for a medium to a large company looking to outsource their current in-house VMware products. The IBM solution would allow them to outsource their current infrastructure so that the company could then concentrate on their core business, whatever that may be. A smaller company with a smaller VMware footprint would probably not be a good fit here. It's a pretty complex process to get things started, so it might not be worth it for a smaller company.

A perfect product for existing IBM users

September 28, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used it to migrate my existing setup from traditional OS to IBM Cloud platforms hosted systems and this is really easy to migrate and maintain the LPM functionality. It was being used by one of our clients and has really helped them ensure better monitoring of their infrastructure and maintain availability.

Pros

High availability
Monitoring
OS performance

Cons

[Needs a] better sales deck to make more customers aware.
API integration
Monitoring HA events

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need a quick IBM product to migrate without thinking of risk of regular AWS outages, this is the right platform to use. Also if you are already dependent on PVU licensing, go ahead with another IBM product.

It is less appropriate if you are already on VMware or Vsphere, as you will identify the difference of ease.
