Description
This IBM Redbooks publication examines how IBM Power11 systems can be extended into hybrid cloud environments through integration with IBM Power Virtual Server (PowerVS). Power11 provides the performance and scalability required for modern enterprise workloads, while PowerVS offers a cloud-based extension of the Power architecture, enabling consistent operations and seamless workload mobility between on-premises and cloud environments.
The publication also introduces hybrid billing capabilities that combine capital investments in on-premises infrastructure with flexible, consumption-based pricing in the cloud. PowerVS supports a wide range of hybrid use cases, including application certification and validation, secure workload isolation, compliance enforcement, disaster recovery, and cloud-based development and testing. With features such as detailed usage tracking, resource tagging, and cost grouping, PowerVS enables organizations to gain greater visibility into cloud resource consumption and maintain financial flexibility while optimizing operational efficiency.
