For your workloads that require a single tenant environment, our Dedicated Virtual Servers run on Dedicated Hosts. This means no need to worry about noisy neighbors, compliance with policies requiring physical isolation, and maximum placement control for affinity and anti-affinity use cases.

If you have flexible workloads and need cost savings, Transient Virtual Servers may be a good option. Transient instances allow you to run workloads on IBM Cloud using unutilized capacity at a fraction of the cost of our standard hourly instances. Additionally, when capacity is required, Transient instances may be deprovisioned.

For your workloads that require predictability, you can reserve virtual server capacity at a one year or three year term with our Reserved Virtual Servers. Because of this commitment term, Reserved Virtual Servers also provide deep discounts and consistency in your monthly payment for vCPU and RAM.
