IBM Cloud Object Storage is must try product
1. We use it to store the data in different buckets and retrieve it on demand and update it.
2. External APIs put the data and keep watching for the bucket's contents if they have populated/created/ updated and remain in that state for some steady state.
3. Certain APIs upload the data into buckets which get utilized by third-party APIs.

Store your data smartly!
IBM Cloud Object storage is being used to restore windows OVA and iseries images and backup. Since the images of iSeries are too large to transfer over the network, IBM recommended using MDM to transfer and restore on COS before it can be uploaded to Power system to configure.

Good place to start
I have used it for completing the IBM AI course which helped me learn AI and computing.
[IBM Cloud Object Storage] is utilized in our
IT department, most specifically. I have found it [to be] a convenient and
advanced tool for data storage as well as for the management of the data
lifecycle. It is a solution that is great for data recovery, storage,
cost-effectiveness, and time saver. A scalable tool that has the propensity to
store massive files of petabyte data.

Doing customer solutions with higher speed and security
My research department requires powerful and fast machines set up to run the sensitive medical gadget algorithms code. Only we rely on IBM [Cloud Object Storage], and it offers us cloud application data storage that is able to perform and respond in quick speed and efficiency. We know our data is secured with IBM [Cloud Object Storage] and love the high bandwidth for fast remote access with [a] higher level of security. Normally we are [avoiding making] deletion mistakes, but humans [are] always present during research and codes modification.

File storage that adapts as your infrastructure scales
We use Cloud Object Storage to store documents that are uploaded to our web application. We also use it for archiving internal files large and small, such as backups and media files. We primarily use it because there are no limitations on the amount of data we can store and because it has auto expiration features that will delete older files based on a date.

IBM Cloud Object Storage, Fast and Flexible storage service.
Previously, we [had] servers with pre-defined configurations and resources. But when data grows, it's difficult to store and manage data, [so] we come to a solution that IBM Cloud Object Storage resolved our issue. It provides flexible services to store and maintain data with all-time availability. [No], we no need to worry about data backup and data availability for users.

The best data storage option!!
As we work in information technology department, there is a lot of unstructured data in our organization to manage and to store it IBM Cloud Storage helps us ease the process.
For multinational companies, we use IBM Cloud [Object] Storage for regional and cross-region cloud storage. And that with a lot of data. We ended up "trying" IBM for having servers in specific countries and we wanted to lower the transfer times of data. This with the options to make private clouds and public clouds, to make specific files accessible, on [specific] locations based on geodata.
We have used several IBM Cloud products. IBM Cloud Object Storage allowed us to use a solution for unstructured data storage within the ecosystem of our other products. Most systems, including ours, has significant unstructured data, so finding a scalable solution for this data, and APIs to read and write this data, was paramount.

IBM Cloud Object Storage...The best for any big data corporation
With the proliferation of cloud computing, object storage is being widely adopted for the management of unstructured data, and analysts estimate that this will represent the majority of all data globally in the near future. As a researcher in machine learning, I have huge data sets I use, for example, the TUH EEG Corpus, the world’s largest
publicly available database of clinical EEG data, comprising more than 25,000
EEG records and over 14,000 patients. I use this dataset in my study.

Efficient Cloud Server and Data Storage Platform
IBM Cloud Object Storage is used across our organization in each department to store data and transfer files. It has helped us to work on our workloads and save most of our files in a safe and secure platform. We used to lose a lot of data before we deployed this platform from unnecessary circumstances but since we deployed this tool everything has been running smoothly.

how many more surprises will IBM bring?
I have used IBM Cloud for several companies as an example of performance in handling data of different nature. I have applied it mainly in the analysis of sales of commercial chains and the restocking of their stores, both with great results.
The main impact is noted in the response time to prepare the queries and for subsequent operations with the data.

The IBM way
I am new to Cloud services and I feel the experience is very user-friendly and a lot of options are available for even a free user. So far loving the experience. The Object storage creation has pay-as-you-go options, a subscription option, and a free object creation option. For a learner, this is the best place to just get the feel of it.

A great service and good value for money.
I am creating my own pipeline for some bioinformatics analysis and IBM Watson studio comes in handy when I need high computing resources to train my machine learning models. There are other features of Watson studio which I am yet to explore. However, so far, I have really enjoyed using it in training my machine learning models.

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage
I find IBM Cloud [Object] Storage as a very cost-effective solution. I would greatly recommend it to someone who is about to start their cloud journey because of its flexibility in learning and easy-to-use interface. It is highly scalable as compared to traditional storage which is there on the market and it also can store up to a large petabyte & exabytes of data. Our organization uses the IBM Watson Assistance chatbot to help our customers better guide through our website. It greatly helps by solving our real-time customer's issues with ease. A few issues we faced while running the services were adding multiple concurrent connection operations. Apart from that, it's very reliable and a great service which IBM provides.
