Build the high-performance private cloud that you need, and keep the public cloud perks that you want
What is IBM Cloud VPC ?
IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a secure, software-defined cloud environment that enables organizations to build isolated, high-performance infrastructure with flexible compute, storage, and networking—combining the scalability of public cloud with the security, control, performance isolation, and hybrid flexibility enterprises demand.
Native network isolation, private endpoints, and granular access controls help protect sensitive workloads.
Dedicated virtual server instances eliminate noisy neighbor issues and ensure consistent throughput.
Deploy compute, storage, and networking resources in minutes with fully automated infrastructure.
Seamlessly integrate with on-premises environments and other cloud platforms.
Create isolated virtual networks with subnets, security groups, and access control lists to enforce zero-trust principles.
Choose from a wide range of virtual server instances optimized for compute, memory, or balanced workloads.
Choose from over 50 data centers, 39 Availability Zones in 13 Regions
100% out of the box, infrastructure and applications monitoring with integrated logging and metrics for improved visibility.
Attach high-performance block storage or use file storage for scalable, persistent data needs.
Distribute traffic efficiently using managed application and network load balancers.
