Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco IBM Cloud storage is a platform for backing up and archiving an unlimited amount of data in a simple, inexpensive, and adaptable manner. It adds additional smart tier capabilities, such as automatic tier categorization and cost optimizations depending on data activity. More secure storage of sensitive information through encryption and fine-grained regulation. A single, permanent, safe, and inexpensive location for all that historical data is IBM's cloud. Now, with query-in-place and machine-learning technologies, developers may create a data lake from which to draw meaningful insights. Offering both high levels of data durability and transmission speed, it is ideal for storing sensitive information on devices that must remain unchanged. Because of the service's excessive latency, a conventional database cannot be stored on it.
