Power Systems Virtual Server on IBM Cloud for IBMi
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Power System Virtual Server
My environment is comprised of Enterprise applications and databases, with the majority of them running on IBM Power Server only. In the majority of cases, it aids in the resolution of issues with the least amount of downtime, and we receive few performance calls that can be resolved in a matter of minutes due to its capabilities, which allow for changes to be made quickly and with the least amount of downtime.
Pros
- Deployment of resources in a dynamic manner
- It's simple to decipher errors and logs
- The P-series servers can be built quickly
Cons
- The GUI can be improved
- At Lpar level, you may add a "snapshot" feature
- It is possible to include a boot option for ASMI Lpar
