IBM Cloud VPC Infrastructure Services

IBM Cloud VPC Infrastructure helps businesses create secure and private cloud environments. It allows you to run applications with better network control.

Modern Cloud Infrastructure with Better Security Control

As an IBM Gold Partner, Star Systems enables you to build a resilient, software-defined foundation using IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). We specialize in delivering logically isolated network environments that offer granular security controls, such as security groups and network ACLs, alongside high-performance, flexible compute resources.

IBM Cloud VPC Services Offerings

We design and deploy Virtual Private Cloud environments that provide isolated, logically separated network spaces within IBM Cloud. Our VPC services enable secure, scalable infrastructure with full control over IP addressing, subnets, routing, and security policies.

VPC Design and Deployment

We design and deploy secure Virtual Private Cloud environments inside IBM Cloud. Each VPC is structured for proper network separation and long term scalability.

Benefits of IBM Cloud VPC

Network Isolation

Create logically separate network environments within IBM Cloud. Maintain full control over IP ranges subnets and routing policies.

Security First

Apply security controls at multiple levels including subnet and instance. Use ACLs security groups to protect your workloads.

High Availability

Deploy resources across multiple zones for improved uptime. System-level redundancy reduces the risk of single-point failures.

Elastic Scaling

Automatically adjust compute capacity based on workload demand. Scale up during peak usage and scale down when not required.

Use Cases of IBM Cloud VPC

Cloud-Native Applications

Deploy microservices architectures with isolated network segments, auto-scaling compute resources, and load-balanced traffic distribution for modern web applications.

Secure Development Environments

Create isolated VPCs for development, staging, and production with network-level separation, ensuring secure SDLC practices and preventing cross-environment contamination.

On Premise to Cloud Connectivity

Extend on-premise data centers into IBM Cloud VPC using VPN gateways or Direct Link, enabling seamless workload migration and disaster recovery scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does IBM Cloud VPC handle security?

Security is applied at multiple levels including network ACLs, security groups, and encryption. We configure these controls based on your application requirements.

2. Do you help with monitoring and optimization after deployment?

Yes, we set up monitoring tools and review performance regularly. This helps identify issues early and keeps your environment running efficiently.

3.What is the main advantage of IBM Cloud VPC compared to Classic?

IBM Cloud VPC offers better network control, private subnets, and flexible scaling. It is designed for modern applications that require isolated and software-defined infrastructure.

4. Can VPC connect with our on-premise data center?

We configure secure VPN or Direct Link connections to extend your network into IBM Cloud VPC. This enables the smooth movement of workloads and data transfer.

5. Can resources scale automatically based on traffic?

VPC supports auto-scaling for virtual servers. We configure scaling policies so your infrastructure adjusts based on real usage patterns.
