Review of IBM Cloud Object Storage
- Providing security services
- Providing centralized development and design solution facilities
- Affordable and tailored solutions to my demands in the modernization of my company
- Trustworthy services for migration to cloud
- More focused approach to cashflow
- IBM Cloud Object Storage is designed to provide high durability and availability for data stored in the cloud. It does this by replicating data across multiple Availability Zones within a region, and by storing data in multiple geographic regions.
- IBM Cloud Object Storage also provides a number of features that make it well-suited for storing large amounts of data. For example, it offers infinite scalability, meaning that you can store as much data as you need without having to worry about capacity limits. It also offers a variety of data protection features, such as encryption at rest and in transit, and the ability to create snapshots of data for easy recovery in the event of data loss.
- A few areas where IBM Cloud Object Storage could improve include:
- Making it easier to manage data and permissions. It can be difficult to keep track of who has access to what data, and what they can do with it.
- Adding more features for analyzing and visualizing data. It would be helpful to be able to see more information about how data is being used and to have better tools for exploring it.
- Improving performance. Sometimes the system can be slow, particularly when dealing with large amounts of data.
- Making it easier to integrate with other systems. It can be challenging to connect IBM Cloud Object Storage to other tools and platforms.
Store your data smartly!

Good place to start
- Objects (data) in an object-storage system are accessed via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
- You can store any number of static files on an object storage instance to be called by an API.
- File storage
- Block storage offers an alternative to file-based storage—one with improved efficiency and performance.
- Linkages with thirds party ( Aure / AWS etc).
- IBM [Cloud Object Storage] is great for the data [storage]. Even [with] bulky files and we can [still] get access to those data files without facing any complex or perplexing situations.
- It is a scalable tool, and has made it easy for us to scale our data as the volume of our files increases.
- It is a highly protective and secure platform, and our company’s secrecy is maintained with it.
- It provides details of the usage.
- I am not content with its collaboration feature.
- Sharing data is not easy, and should be improved.
- The condition to get access to IBM cloud storage by only utilizing an IBM Cloud account is a bit unsatisfying for us.
File storage that adapts as your infrastructure scales
- Stores both short term and long term files.
- Auto scales based on our usage.
- Auto deletes older files.
- Searching for files by keyword could be better. Currently one can only filter by prefix.
