The Power of PowerVC

The Power of PowerVC-1

  • Move any VM between clouds or data centers as needed—for seamless hybrid cloud agility.
  • PowerVC provides the ability to export any workload as an open virtualization archive (OVA), which can in turn be used to import into the IBM Cloud Power Virtual Server solution—make it easy to move apps and data into the cloud. Customers can also easily export their workloads from the public cloud and import them in PowerVC’s on-prem solution… making bidirectional data movement and AI workloads simple and straightforward.
