What is Virtual Private Cloud?
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is your own space in the IBM Cloud™. With VPC, you define and control a virtual network in logically isolated parts of the IBM Cloud where you can deploy desired cloud resources. VPC gives you dynamic scalability for easier business growth, high availability for better customer satisfaction, and lower total cost of ownership so you can focus on business innovations. IBM has helped countless customers safely navigate their journey to the cloud and is ideally suited to help you on your journey to success.
