As a games developer I need to offload as much processing as I can. I've not fully made use of it yet, but my tests have shown IBM's Cloud offering and the Cloud Object Storage to fit smoothly into some workflows (due to the diverse range of integrated services).
It's still in early stages, but so far I like what I've seen.
- Integrates with other IBM Cloud services
- Email reports and notifications I can observe at a glance
- Very flexible offerings (including low cost storage)
- Good pricing
- The UX for IBM's cloud platforms can take some time to get used to
- IBM's cloud platform pages are quite heavy, making navigation a bit of a chore
- IBM Watson Studio (formerly IBM Data Science Experience)
The game being worked on is still at the prototyping stage, but is likely to utilize IBM's products to provide real-time analysis and processing for the game world. This will allow players to enjoy the full benefits of the designed game no matter what hardware they are using.
The primary target platform is GeForce NOW, which processes the game on NVidia's servers, with the expectation of being able to offload lengthier machine learning tasks to models on IBM Cloud Platform.
- Even though it is object storage, I can still use folder structure and store data.
- It adds yet another layer of encrypted protection to our already strong system.
- It was easy to set up and will be valuable to each and every client we help. Ease of use is pretty key.
- Tech support was available via chat and helped us set up our bucket and other needs.
- IBM Cloud Object Storage has errors in their documentation and they could fix the errors.
- While tech support via chat was great, the chat interface was out of sync and very buggy. It must be fixed. It was very difficult to communicate with tech support.
- The entire IBM Cloud Object Storage system is a bit confusing without the use of lots of documentation and some things that were supposed to be automatically set up were not.
- Very easy integration to various tools.
- Replacement for offsite backup.
- More efficient than tape backup for geographic redundancy.
- Great for disaster recovery.
- It would be nice to have more explanation videos for each section offered.
