Azure NetApp Files vs IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

• We have found that it scales very well. In some cases we had a large existing storage infrastructure and were able to migrate it while other times we started from scratch with low storage demands and Azure NetApp Files fit the bill each time.
• We have been impressed with the replication capabailities.
• The read and write speed when interacting with files is a major asset.

• The IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) architecture allows scripted preparation and management of the virtual environment, which we use to link the IBM VPC API with an Ultimus CPS solution, allowing our colleagues to manage the IBM environment directly from our own management solution.
• IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) uses a "pay what you use" pricing model. By integrating the IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) API into Ultimus management processes, the machines can be started and stopped automatically specifically for the needed times. This saves us a lot of money.
• The performance of the IBM VPM machines is excellent and gives us great performance for developing and presenting our Ultimus products and solutions.

• It does not support file locking although its available as an add-on
• Design is far from native and has a learning curve
• We would like to have backup functionality built in so that we don't run into the issue where the replication process makes a copy of the corrupted data.

• The documentation and integration between OpenShift and IBMCloud was not clear. It took some time to figure out which interface to use to setup certain items.
• Better communication between departments could be improved. Had a billing question and had two departments saying it was the other team's issue. Took three days of back and forth to resolve.
• The documentation for loading containers into IBM Cloud OpenShift container registry was not clear. The correct commands were not documented.

• Positive impact includes getting high performance when working with huge volumes of data along with low latency.
• Did not encounter any negative impact as such except that it is comparatively costly than similar other services, but then it is tradeoff price vs performance.

• Future readiness--we have the ability to quickly respond and build custom demos for customers in a short timeframe.
• Savings on hardware--we have the ability to spin up large workloads to demonstrate to customers the performance of our tools and IBM Cloud.
