IBM Cloud Bare Metal Server Tools are very easy and its Data Processing Functions are Cost-Effective.
The functions with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers are extremely effective and easy on manipulation and no much maintenance needed to manage the platform. The data handling also through IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers is very effective and the quality management of all the processes data is amazing and very profitable data mining solution.

IBM Bare Metal Servers for Manufacturing and IoT
- Huawei Cloud Bare Metal Server (BMS)
Huawei was our first consideration. However, it had significant operational difficulties. Hence we had to move away from Huawei.

Transparent Review.
Configured file systems on bare metal servers and was able to increase the size whenever required. Can limit the costs initially to understand the application demand and need. Later, have the flexibility to increase the size of the file system as the application grows bigger and bigger without any hassle.
I am currently using all virtual servers and not Bare Metal Servers anymore. I do not see the advantage of paying more and encountering more issues with Bare Metal Servers. Virtual servers seem like a better situation for my use.

Good choice for GPU power platform
IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers meet our app requirement, and the support is good as well.

Came down to Price and the 20TB "free" egress made it a winner.

Great infrastructure for monthly dev
The servers themselves are a commodity product. Dell is Dell, HP is HP. When comparing vendors for this service, you are looking at price, SLA, and easy of use for support.

Very helpful tool

Worth [it to use] this Server
The Best part of this IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers is performance and a very highly usable part is Security stuff. everyone needs to secure their data and work with a smoothly running app. for this reason I select this server rather than another one. I will use it in feature [definitely].

IBM Cloud review by communicAVIA
When we chose IBM (previously Softlayer), our requirements were simple: a provider that supports platform OS we need, reliable network, geographical presence and price. Based on our research back then, we opted for Softlayer (now IBM). Why did we choose bare metal instead of virtual? Because we have non-standard OS we need to run with custom configuration, so we need to run it on our own hypervisor. That's why we choose bare metal since we have the flexibility to customize the VM.

IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers Review
IBM brings the full suite, and coupled with Bare Metal, developing within the IBM / Softlayer SDK's and keeping smtp mail delivery, CDN, data block/object storage all from one place is simple. We were also evaluating DNS via Cloudflare before we departed IBM Cloud services.

check My IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers Review
IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers is in every case better compared to the next seller items that are accessible in the market. This item gives us quick execution with bunches of safety and different highlights. No vacation and incredible specialized help are benefits of this item.

Offers functions as advertised
We had considered AWS EC2. They offer similar functions we require. But we feel IBM is better due to the version changes that they implement and the security features.

Bare metal glory!
- Azure Data Science Virtual Machines (DSVM) and AWS Auto Scaling
I would say that they are comparable in alot of ways and work about the same. Most cloud vendors today don't have alot of differentiations for the tasks that I perform on a daily basis.

Affordable and Flexible Bare Metal Servers
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
AWS and Google are also providing very similar solutions but when we take a closer look at our needs and the pricing model each of the providers have, it is quite obvious for us to choose IBM.
The AWS Bare Metal is a non-starter. $5000 for a "weaker" server than IBM offers and way, way, more configuration. GCP is still on-boarding their bare-metal solutions. The other places, such as digital ocean or rackspace tend to be pricier and you get less power. The only other alternative is to run your own data center which is a lot of resources and capital.

Bare metal servers are more suitable to our needs and give us more control over our production environment.

How IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers help us
We choose IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers for the large hardware choices. When you select a base hardware that respond to your needs, you can custom it a lot to be perfectly what you really need. That’s a very good point to customize hardware for each customer with a great provisioning time.

IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers Review
We went for IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers, after doing some research. We found at that time it was a little complicated to start working with Microsoft Azure and also complicated with Amazon Web Services. It was like there were so many options that we didn't know what to select. We found IBM Cloud (Soft Layer, at that time) and we love it.
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
Cloud vs Bare Metal is a tough call. We chose EC2 to move our solution from IBM because we needed more flexibility. I believe that the choice of one or the other solution must be thought through very carefully. Neither of those is heaven. For us, the change comes in the necessity to have more websites available and to support more web technologies, for example, ElasticSearch.
Bare Metal doesn't have the flexibility of the cloud, that's a given, but sometimes it's better.
On a Bare Metal infrastructure, it requires you to request a new server and configure it, which is not always easy, especially if you want to just test some tech. That's the point when Cloud was big win for us. We can test it without needing to set up a server on our own.
But, if you need a more permanent application, probably you will want a Bare Metal server, tuned to your application.

IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers Review
I have used IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers prior to Google Compute Engine as I started with RackShack, which changed to SoftLayer, which now changed to IBM Cloud. Over the 15 years with this service, recently I've had the worst tech support of all, and that is the reason we moved to Google Compute Engine. The fact that IBM is much more expensive was not really a factor. But, being down for 2 days on a hardware-related issue was the real reason we decided to make the move to Google.

Reliable Hardware, Poor Support, I Miss SoftLayer
I picked IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers because I was doing business with Softlayer before IBM acquired them. Unfortunately, the level of service has declined sharply since the acquisition.
We've also had good success with Mac colocation services like MacStadium, being cheaper with unlimited networking, quite dependable and also very flexible when used with VMware, but with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers we have a lot more options on data center locations, fantastic network routing between data centers and any server capacity I would need. With regards to Azure, AWS, etc., those models just don't work for our projects, too many restrictions on networking and other details. IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers are just easier.
