Bare metal glory!
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
It allow us additional flexibility and scalability. We use the virtual servers along side of IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers for processes that don't need the IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers speed or architecture. We love keeping things low latency which this allows us to do since they are in the same data center. They also provide us with faster deploy time.

Affordable and Flexible Bare Metal Servers
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
- IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers
- IBM Cloud Databases
It is easy for us to manage all our data and workloads to manage at one location (at least for our department). The way the connection works or the VPC peering works is super simple and support teams are always there to help.

A good option for deploying cloud services
- IBM Analytics Engine
- IBM Watson Studio (formerly IBM Data Science Experience)
- IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding
- IBM Watson Tone Analyzer
- IBM Watson Natural Language Classifier
- IBM Watson Knowledge Studio
- IBM Watson OpenScale
These services connect very well together inside the IBM platform. This ease of integration saves time and helps optimize movement of data across these components. For the most part, it's all open source anyway, and so the "flavor" of the infrastructure is agnostic to me. However, I believe I gain data speed and availability by building components together inside a single entity. Depending on your data usage, this might be a critical need.

- IBM Cloud Databases
The impact of using multiple IBM services together in my organization is an overall harmonious and smooth operation experience with the 3 most important aspects given as per the below example. Flexibility to cater to our needs and the efficiency and the strategic value of competitive advantage by providing the most innovative technology available.

Solid Development Environment
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
- IBM Cloud Container Registry
- IBM Cloud Object Storage
- IBM Cloud Managed Knative
Being able to leverage the other IBM Cloud offerings with VPC allowed us flexibility in building a robust migration application. In addition it is enabling us more options for add-on solutions for IBM Cloud Pak for Automation.
This is usually a good thing, but I have had a mixed bag. The public cloud does not always mesh well with the private cloud and there is a decent amount of configuration required before both can interconnect. As it usually follows, added complexity has caused us issues with traceability and outages.

Lift and Shift work has been possible!

IBM Cloud VPC
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
- IBM Cloud Direct Link
Connecting a VPC, Classic Inf and a Power Series Network is not the simplest of operations, but is well supported.
Direct Links and Transit Gateways are required in this scenario.

A capable, easy-to-use cloud product
- IBM Cloud Functions
- IBM Cloud Object Storage
Cloud Functions in conjunction with Cloud Object Storage allows massive scalability in IO and CPU speed. Being able to read, processing and write 10s of GBs per second is pretty amazing, considering that you can scale up to 1000x4GB cloud functions in under 10s. There are several "embarrassingly parallelizable" parts of our data processing pipeline that have gone from 10s of minutes to 10s of seconds by rewriting them to use Cloud Functions.

How IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers help us
Having the possibility to use multiple products offered by the same provider is very important. You reduce the cost of your infrastructure. Using Bare Metal Servers with Cloud Instances and other services at the same place is good for saving time, saving money and constantly know what is deployed for your organization.

Reliable Hardware, Poor Support, I Miss SoftLayer
When budget is a priority, I use AWS. When I need raw power and no support, I use IBM.
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
We haven't really used much of the other IBM Cloud products yet, we like to manage all we can ourselves. But it's good to know we can have all that portfolio any time we need. Coming from the Softlayer days, this has given me the confidence that we are hosting our services with a strong provider.
- IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
I love the IBM servers, Virtual and Bare metal. An excellent option as it is secure, reliable, and cost-effective.

IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud Review
- IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service
- IBM Cloud Functions
- IBM Cloud Internet Services
- IBM Cloud Object Storage
- IBM Cloud Databases
- IBM Watson Visual Recognition
Having several services working together helped to simplify our lives. The offer that IBM cloud has keeps growing and it is catching up with competitors. Related to Kubernetes, at the time of our implementation we had problems with load balancers but now the experience is better. Also the same happened to us in relation to Visual Recognition.
