Benefits
High availability for sensitive account data
Deploy bare metal server to multizone regions and use floating IPs.
Flexible web apps across retail
Get maximum elasticity for dynamic and unpredictable environments.
Network-critical financial transactions
Help ensure network consistency — ideal for I/O heavy account-based transactions.
Migrate VMware workloads
Retain existing tools and skills by deploying VPC-native servers in minutes not hours.
Upgrade to VMware NSX-T
Control your IP space on 100 Gbps. Extend across cloud and on premises.
Modernize VMware workloads
Modernize applications with containers, Kubernetes or Red Hat® OpenShift®.
I selected IBM Cloud VPC because of 5 points that I thought and was proven correct based on my experience using the service. First is security. Secondly is agility. The third is isolation. Fourth is the high performance. Fifth, and last, is the scalability.

VPC features
Compute details
Compute services on IBM Cloud
Each profile has pre-set configurations of vCPU, memory, storage and bandwidth to choose from, so you can quickly spin up capacity that suits your workload demands.
Compute profiles
Ideal for CPU-intensive demands with moderate-to-high web traffic, such as production batch processing and front-end web servers.
Balanced profiles
Ideal for midsize databases and common cloud applications with moderate traffic.
Memory profiles
Ideal for RAM-intensive demands, such as large memory caching, in-memory analytics workloads and intensive database applications.
Storage details
Storage details
Explore block and file storage options available from IBM Bare Metal Servers, and if you need extra storage, IBM makes it easy.
All secondary NVMe storage
Add a secondary, local NVMe drive (JBOD 3.2TB NVMe u.2).
Boot storage
Implement local disk boot storage on redundant solid-state drives (SSDs).
Security details
Security details
Help optimize your performance under single tenancy with security-rich features.
Inherent protection
Employ highly available private virtual networks with security-rich capabilities integrated into the compute, storage and subnet levels.
Security groups
Control traffic for one or more bare metal servers with a collection of rules that act as your own virtual firewall.
Encryption
Attach a floating IP so nothing in the connection path forces a decryption to your bare metal server.
