What is Virtual Private Cloud?
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is your own space in the IBM Cloud™. With VPC, you define and control a virtual network in logically isolated parts of the IBM Cloud where you can deploy desired cloud resources. VPC gives you dynamic scalability for easier business growth, high availability for better customer satisfaction, and lower total cost of ownership so you can focus on business innovations. IBM has helped countless customers safely navigate their journey to the cloud and is ideally suited to help you on your journey to success.
Features
Agile
Scale cloud infrastructure resources, including virtual servers, block storage, and networking, in logically isolated virtual networks that adapt to your business needs.
Secure
Protect your business with secure and highly available private virtual networks that give you control over how your cloud resources and workloads are accessed and who can access them.
Resilient
Capitalize on IBM Cloud availability zones with redundant resources and no shared points of failure to keep your enterprise workloads and cloud-native applications available to customers.
Benefits
Flexible business growth
IBM Cloud VPC lets you control the size of your virtual network and gives you the freedom to dynamically deploy cloud resources as your business requires. With VPC, you can easily scale your resources in real time to adapt to changing business conditions.
Customer satisfaction
With security groups and access control lists (ACLs), VPCs deliver more secure environments for application workloads and data. Gain peace of mind and the trust of your customers with IBM Cloud VPCs.
Trusted business
Build multiple VPC subnets in IBM Cloud Multi-Zone Regions to keep app workloads available with added fault tolerance. Expand your loyal customer base with the high availability and responsiveness of resilient business applications.
Highlights
Private space in public cloud
Create VPCs across one or more availability zones in Multi-Zone Regions. Build multiple VPCs and quickly deploy block storage and virtual servers with up to 80 Gbps networking and faster provisioning.
Network security
With IBM Cloud VPC, protection is integrated at the instance level through security groups and at the subnet level with access control lists (ACLs). VPC subnets are created with a default ACL.
Bring your own subnet
VPC supports bring your own IP (BYOIP) to allow customers to add their own publicly routable IPv4 prefixes and use them with VPC resources. Easily move applications and connect on-premises resources.
How customers use VPC
Host customer-facing applications
IBM Cloud VPC offers customers a secure environment to host customer-facing applications and websites. Take advantage of the dynamic scalability of VPC to support more customers when demand for your services grows. By keeping your enterprise or cloud-native applications running in a high-availability cloud with faster networking and response times, you can improve customer satisfaction and loyalty while gaining a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Build hybrid clouds
IBM Cloud VPC allows you to easily and securely connect your on-premises data centers to the IBM Cloud. That enables your on-premises applications to burst into the cloud in times of higher utilization, taking advantage of the elasticity, agility and global reach of IBM’s public cloud. At the same time, cloud applications can access on-premises information they need. VPC gives you better deployment flexibility while preserving your special business requirements.
