IBM Cloud for VMware as a Service is VMware Cloud Director as a managed service on IBM Cloud.
IBM Cloud® for VMware as a Service delivers a VMware Cloud Director (vCD) stack that enables enterprises to build cloud computing environment to support their business. IBM performs the configuration, capacity management, monitoring, patching, upgrades and security of the underlying VMware software, through a highly available management backplane, so you can quickly deploy your VMware-based cloud computing environments.
You can purchase compute resources either at the host level, leveraging several IBM Bare Metal Server profiles, or on-demand compute resources at the vCPU, RAM and storage. With our multitenant consumption model, you can start with as small as 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM.
Buy or reserve compute capacity to match your needs. Provision any number of VMs of different sizes with a flexibility that allows you to manage your costs better.
Seamlessly extend existing on-premises capacity into the cloud without refactoring your VMware workloads.
Focus on business needs by offloading day-2 operations like patching and monitoring of VMWare infrastructure.
Leverage IBM Cloud to monitor, patch and maintain the VMware software with a management backplane and underlying hardware to a near-continous availability SLA.
Avail two options such as Network File Storage (NFS) and vSAN. Multiple performance options for attached NFS: 2, 4, and 10 IOPS/GB in addition to providing vSAN storage.
Opt for either a single-tenant or a multitenant model for maximum flexibility. You can use multitenant for dev and test environments and single-tenant for production.
Resize your VMware deployments any time. Dedicated host scales from 32 to 96 cores, and 192 GB to 1.5 TB of memory. Multitenant starts as low as 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM.
Select profiles by CPU, memory and storage that are required to run targeted VMware workloads.
Use optional add-on services for backup, migration and disaster recovery.
Learn how to create virtual data center (VDC) networks with Terraform and more.
Learn the basic steps to operationalize an IBM Cloud for VMware as a Service–single tenant instance after initial instance provisioning.
Seamlessly modernize your VMware workloads and applications with IBM Cloud.
Leverage 100% dedicated, secure, bare metal servers which can be deployed and managed as cloud services.
Choose highly scalable, fast, single-tenant and multi-tenant virtual machines for maximum network isolation and control.
