Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The VPC has been a great service for Cloud deployment. We've developed and staged software in a quick simple manner without the need to purchase hardware components or sign up for long term contracts. The ease of setup is probably my favorite benefit of the service because it doesn't not involve a lot of training.

Pros

  • Setup a virtual network
  • Allow for public and private subnets
  • Security and control

Cons

  • Login to the console
  • Make some wizards

Likelihood to Recommend

Deploying a simple network to support a 3 tier web application.

Experience the Power of IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud: Secure, Scalable, and Customizable Infrastructure for Your Business

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use IBM's VPC infrastructure as a means to securely host our virtual infrastructure. During COVID, VDI and other remote applications became a requirement for our clients and their remote stakeholders. We found the price to be also competitive with other cloud offerings (Azure, AWS, GCP, etc).

Pros

  • Security
  • Productivity
  • Ease of use

Cons

  • 2FA via Hardware Security Keys (e.g. Yubikey)

Likelihood to Recommend

Security and scalability were our two big factors in choosing IBM's VPC. Our data was hosted in a secure and isolated environment, allowing our organizations to maintain control over sensitive information. It also allowed our organizations to easily scale their infrastructure up or down to meet changing needs, without the need to purchase and maintain physical hardware.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

we deploy cloud based application on the IBM cloud bare metal servers for cloud communications, different kind off applications works in sync with each other in order to create a cloud communications environment. the deployment of softlayer for fairly easier and robust deployement, which helped us grow to the new next level for our company

Pros

  • easy interface
  • robustness
  • zero down time
  • good performance

Cons

  • may be work on rapid scaling
  • and be able to deploy apps directly
  • need more info for cost management

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM cloud was very suitable where we needed to deploy bare metal for easier deployment and easier migration from on prem because we also have on prem cloud with bare metal server. it is not very suitable for people who need to deploy direct apps on the cloud which is where the future is

  • easy migration
  • highly secure

Cons

  • Limited versions of OS available

  • Not all Databases are available

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM VPC is well suitable for while migrating existing workload and while creating private cloud spaces

IBM Bare Metal Servers for Manufacturing and IoT

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Bare Metal Servers are currently being used in one of our deployments. We are in general delighted by the uptime and quality. IBM really needs to improve on its documentation. Other cloud platforms provide better documentation.

Pros

  • Overall Quality
  • Ease of Deployment
  • Performance

Cons

  • Documentation
  • Connectivity to other platforms
  • Pricing can be made more flexible

Likelihood to Recommend

Industrial Automation deployments function well on Bare Metal Servers. We are able to utilize Bare Metal Servers for backup of Mission Critical Software.

We are hopeful that IBM will expand the marketplace and allow better features for OPC and BACNET connectivity.

In general the documentation needs to improve.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been involved with the below use cases in my experience - 1) Migrate on-prem servers/applications to IBM DC Cloud to new bare metal servers and build the Application (Lift and Shift the Custom Applications). 2) Build New Custom Applications from Scratch on Brand new LINUX bare metal servers.

Pros

  • Compatible for custom Applications.
  • Allows to install needed packages.
  • Self install required software like oracle, tools, compliers.

Cons

  • C compiler wasn't available by default.
  • Sendmail feature/package wasn't available by default.
  • Dependant on admins to get issues resolved.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited - 1) To Install required Products/Software in a middleware technology 2) Customize the file system and size of the storage 3) Install required monitoring tools like Tivoli, Splunk, etc. Less appropriate - 1) Maybe for SAAS products that do not require all of the installations.

IBM cloud review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). We have virtual server running inside VPC. We access the VPC by doing SSH into the server using command line. Locally, we use windows machine but we use mobaxterm (other application) to use SSH. We prefer SSH over other windows options. Our use case is to host website inside the VPC.

Pros

  • SSH
  • No down time until now
  • Cost efficiency

Cons

  • Low tutorial on internet
  • Would be very helpful if docs include video demo as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

Our use case is small. We use only one region and zone. I think IBM cloud VPC does well in larger cloud infrastructure as well. In case if the user is only learning about cloud, I would not recommend IBM cloud. IBM cloud does have good documentation but generally someone who is new to cloud would like to have a video demo.

IBM Bare Metal

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used IBM Cloud Bare metal server to run my company’s website, web apps, database, etc.

Pros

  • Security
  • Performance
  • Availability

Cons

  • User Friendliness
  • Cost

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM Cloud Bare Metal is great in scenarios where you need high availability and high performance, but of course this comes at a cost. If someone needs a simple static site obviously they are not going to use bare metal. But if you are running a web app where performance and availability is critical, it makes a lot of sense to go bare metal.
