DigitalOcean Droplets vs. IBM Spectrum Accelerate

DigitalOcean Droplets are the best choice for developers teams that need reliable Linux servers to deploy their projects, the ability to create a droplet for testing purposes then destroy it, and only get charged for the few hours used makes the chances of messing up very slim. DigitalOcean Droplets is a great solution because the servers are scalable and the process of adding more resources like CPU or RAM to an existing droplet takes only a few minutes and once a server is scaled up it can also be scaled down if necessary which is perfect for supporting a temporary peak in traffic for example.

I recommend this product in cases when we have to Deploy scale-out storage grids in automated environments; it can be done in minutes rather than days. Another exciting point is the quality of service that it allows for establishing different performance tiers without a need for physical tiering. A point against, from my point of view, is connectivity because it only provides a connection by iscsi.
