Key use-cases

Start Small and Scale

VMware on IBM allows you to expand and contract your VMware environment in 1vCPU/1GB RAM increments. In this way, you start small and can scale as your requirements build on. You begin with sizing the VMware environment, move on to the deployment or migration stage, test your deployment and then enable it if needed. Finally, you move on to the production stage. Gradually, you can start scaling according to your increasing requirements.
Cloud Disaster Recovery Site

VMware on IBM allows you to extend your backup infrastructure to the cloud. You start with replicating on-premises workload to a virtual datacentre on IBM Cloud. While doing this, you only pay for the storage for the replicated environment while everything is going smooth. As soon as the disaster strikes, you have your backup repository ready, and you can even failover and assume control in the cloud. During all this, you pay only pay for CPU and memory while the replication is already started.
Bursting to The Cloud during Peak Demands

You can combine VMware shared with IBM internet Services for a smart and secure offload of work between the primary on-premises VMware environment, and Cloud VMware shared environment. You can start or stop the cloud VMware Shared side as per requirements and pay for only what you consume.
Serve an Employee Fleet with Remote Desktops

You can load employee desktop templates into a virtual data center, deploy the proper template for the employees, make it accessible anywhere in the world with the Internet, and leverage integrated backup to protect them from data loss. You can adjust the right size of your virtual data center as you add or remove staff and pay only for what you consume.
