Trusted by 80% of Fortune 100 companies.
IBM Power Systems are enterprise class machines that have a reputation for delivering trusted, high performance.
Discover IBM Power Virtual Servers (VS).
Complex and regulated workloads have demanding requirements for reliability, availability, security and performance.
From the AS/400 and RS/6000 models in the 1990s to the Power10 released in late 2021, IBM Power Systems are the first choice for many companies with high risk environments that need low-risk infrastructure. In fact, a majority of Fortune 100 have IBM Power Systems running their most mission-critical workloads. IBM Power Virtual Servers (PowerVS) continue this tradition.
One of the main reasons we wanted to look at an IBM Cloud solution rather than something that would just fix our short-term problem was to be able to stand up new instances of our software for different purposes. IBM Power Virtual Server is going to enable us to do that.

Discover What PowerVS Can Do.
IBM PowerVS offer practical solutions for virtual infrastructure partitions.
Users can start with non-production tasks in development, test, customer support and backup environments. →
- Development: Projects can begin without approval of Capex investment, delivery delays and time to deploy servers. Development environments can be provisioned as needed.
- Test: IT can build automated, full-scale environments that spin on-command to accommodate the transient nature of the environment. Test times get reduced, multiple tests can run in parallel, etc.
- Troubleshooting: Development teams can replicate issues faster by using an unlimited number of LPARs for diagnostics and resolution.
- Disaster Recovery: Mission-critical systems of records, DB2 transactions or ERP/CRM plans can remain resilient and highly available when off-site backup is needed.
