Overview
Compute, storage, networking and security with IBM Cloud® Virtual Server for VPC
IBM Cloud Virtual Server for VPC offers fast-provisioning compute capacity with the highest networking speeds and most secure, software-defined networking resources available on the IBM Cloud. Deploying IBM Cloud Virtual Server for VPC gives you instant access to all infrastructure-as-a-service resources inside the IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Choose dedicated hosts or multi-tenant virtual server profiles with the core and RAM configuration that’s best for your workload. Your instance storage is allocated and attached at the time of provisioning. You also get fine-grained control over your virtual network and security resources for greater scaling and traffic regulation.
Compute features
Single-tenant dedicated hosts
Single-tenant dedicated hosts
For single-tenant virtual compute capacity free from users outside of your organization, you can create one or more dedicated hosts and associated dedicated host groups.
Easy setup
Use the IBM Cloud console, CLI or API. Everything is fully integrated into your IBM Cloud VPC environment.
Granular access
Assign specific resources and policies to specific users based on required roles.
Organized control
Create dedicated host groups for distinct functions. This is ideal if you have multiple business units and want to separate the physical compute infrastructure used by each unit.
Intel Xeon technology
Intel Xeon technology
Decades of innovation supported by a close partnership toward all cloud computing workloads put Intel Xeon Processors at the forefront of all virtual servers on your IBM Cloud VPC. It’s microarchitecture that pushes the impact of your data performance.
High per-core performance
Advanced and balanced microarchitecture designed for scalability of data-intensive workloads across compute, storage and network usages.
Faster time to value
Designed for data center modernization to drive operational efficiencies for improved total cost of ownership.
Diverse HPC workloads
Designed to help maximize vector floating point performance and efficiency with higher performance and fewer servers.
Storage features
IBM Cloud® File Storage
IBM Cloud® File Storage
NFS-based file storage for your virtual servers on IBM Cloud VPC is available for preview access in the Washington, Dallas, Frankfurt and London regions to select clients. Chat now or contact an IBM Sales representative for more information.
IOPS options
Quickly choose from predefined lOPS tiers, or customize and define your own capacity and IOPS level.
Zonal file shares
File shares are created in an availability zone within a region and can be shared with multiple virtual server instances within the same zone across multiple VPCs.
Encryption
By default, fire share data are encrypted at rest with IBM-managed encryption.
Networking features
Interconnections
Interconnections
Quickly interconnect your IBM Cloud VPC environment with your on-premises network or other IBM Cloud VPCs.
IBM Cloud Direct Link Dedicated
Provision low-latency, high-throughput connections between your IBM Cloud VPC network and your service provider-managed WAN, or a client-managed backbone.
IBM Cloud VPN for VPC
Securely connect your IBM Cloud VPC network to another private network with an IPsec site-to-site tunnel.
IBM Cloud Load Balancers for VPC
With IBM Cloud load balancers, you can distribute incoming traffic and provide protection against failure of an individual application server or public network.
IBM Cloud Transit Gateway
Get private interconnectivity between global IBM Cloud data centers with single or multiple central hubs for easy provisioning and management.
IBM Cloud Client VPN for VPC
Provides an open-source compatible client-to-site VPN solution that allows users to connect to IBM Cloud resources through secure, encrypted connections.
External connectivity
External connectivity
Establish a private, encrypted connection to remote networks for your virtual servers through public gateways or floating IPS.
Public gateway
Enable a subnet and all attached virtual server instances to connect to the internet.
Floating IP
Reserve an IP address from a pool provided by IBM Cloud and associate it with your network interface.
Subnets
Your subnets are contained within a single zone and do not span multiple zones. This helps improve your security, reduces latency and enables higher availability.
Security features
Protected storage
Protected storage
IBM Cloud takes the need for security seriously and understands the importance of being able to encrypt the data surrounding your virtual servers to keep it safe.
BYOK
Protect your block storage data by bringing and using your own root keys when you create a standalone or virtual server instance data volume.
IBM-managed encryption
All storage options for your virtual server environments on IBM Cloud VPC have default IBM-managed encryption.
On-disk encryption
The physical disks used for your default virtual server instance storage are automatically self-encrypting with the strong AES-256 encryption standard.
