IBM Cloud review by communicAVIA
- Reliable platform, never have any issue with the hardware.
- Reliable infrastructure, 100% uptime during last 4 years in service.
- The service price is higher than most competitors but it is worth considering its reliability.
- Ability to switch OS/platform license to customer's own license without being re-deploy.
- Procedure for easy hardware refresh (especially hard drive) to ease cloning content to new hard drive. We have a 6 years disk and we very concern about it.
- Other than that, everything is OK.
IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers
- Excellent Network layer
- Superior Tech Support
- Reasonable Pricing
- VPN Connectivity is a bit complicated
- Documentation needs to be improved
- Need to Improve resource availability in all regions
1. There is a requirement to host servers in a different geographical location
2. Require non virtualized computing power in the cloud
3. Quick workload deployment is a priority
IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers are less appropriate when:
1. Security requirements prevent hosting workloads in the cloud
Great virtual server configuration software
- Provision of VPC Subnets.
- Network orchestration for our private cloud.
- The functionality and reliability has been awesome.
- I have not experienced any downtime from its capability.
IBM CLOUD VPC Review
- Domain name services. Public and private DNS and domain registration.
- IBM Cloud Direct Link. Physical or virtual private connections to IBM Cloud.
- High availability. Enhanced security.
- UI has lot of confusion, new user gets lot confusion while navigation.
- Most of IBM cloud has pre -configured Vm's, very less customization available.
- Very limited varieties of flavors for windows and Linux OS available.
- Compared to AWS very less features like SQL & Oracle DB's are also missing.
- Performance - the servers perform really well, even under stress. We have some long build processes running concurrently, and the server [can] serve other applications without any problems.
- Secure - for the most part, the servers are very secure and IBM provides many tools to help [make] sure the servers stay that way.
- Highly Available - while we have experienced various downtimes and outages with other IBM Cloud offerings, so far, we have not experienced any with [IBM Cloud] Bare Metal Servers.
- Pricing - can be a bit more expensive than some alternatives. Also, [in our experience,] we were offered a discount as part of a data center migration; [however,] when it came to billing time, the discount was not applied, and we had to spend time [providing] evidence of the offer.
