IBM Secure Virtualization

IBM Cloud Secure Virtualization combines the power of IBM Cloud, VMware Cloud Foundation, HyTrust security software, and Intel TXT-enabled hardware to protect virtualized workloads down to the microchip level

Pros

    VMware vSphere

    VMware vSphere with VCF 9.1 is the enterprise workload engine that modernizes compute infrastructure with a future-ready, scalable infrastructure and simplified management that enables organizations to extract maximum value from their current server investments and hardware footprint, rather than requiring a total refresh. vSphere provides a powerful foundation for modern, AI and traditional workloads, while enabling intrinsic security out-of-the-box.
