IBM Bare Metal Servers for Manufacturing and IoT
- IBM Watson IoT
We build IoT applications for the manufacturing industry. IBM is one of our forerunning choices at the moment (other being Azure). IBM stack is spread out. Azure is more collected.

Transparent Review.
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
In my whole experience, I have been using IBM products, be it servers/technology software on both on-prem and cloud. I could hardly recall any major issues or fallouts using these products. The infrastructure and support have been a backbone for all of the client applications to date providing availability and the ability to accommodate growth.

Great infrastructure for monthly dev
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
- IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers
- IBM Cloud Internet Services
Being able to have the same services on the same vendor allows for a smoother integration and some cost efficiencies. However this adds some risk with DR and emergency planning.

- IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions
We do not see any significant impact of using multiple portfolio products together. However, it is preferred to use products from the same vendor as it reduces administrative overhead.

Very helpful tool
We utilize virtual servers for our web hosting and development environments but we use Bare Metal Servers for our production database server. It is great for a start-up looking to lease equipment that can scale as they grow. Well suited for training models for data science with a dedicated server. We don't have to worry about racking up hourly costs, which would be costlier than Bare Metal. We utilize IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers to run custom Ubuntu servers. It has a very high reliability
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
- IBM Cloud Object Storage
The Bare Metal servers provide just one layer of our stack. On our private subnet, we have a complement of virtual servers, file storage, block storage, object storage, load balancers, and so on. IBM Cloud provides us with all of the pieces we need to deploy a full software stack.

IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers Review
There are clear advantages and risks when using multiple products with a single vendor. Some advantages are:
- Speed and cost of data object storage between Bare Metal vs external suck as S3
- Single management portal
- Single key/token via SDK for API or management
- Familiar experience
