a powerful storm disrupted power supplies and network connections to the data center hosting our critical databases. Despite the external factors causing widespread service disruptions, IBM Cloud Databases demonstrated its exceptional reliability. The auto-failover feature seamlessly shifted operations to redundant servers in another geographically separate data center, ensuring uninterrupted service for our applications.

N/A for other services, but used IBM because of reputation as it is an industry giant who has been a big player in the IT industry for years.

IBM cloud database has a lot of features than Amazon DynamoDB. This is my personal opinion. But I can't say Amazon DynamoDB is a bad one. But IBM cloud database has a lot of securities and file storage and backup features than Amazon DynamoDB. But both are good in their own style. But I like the IBM cloud database and amazon dynamo DB.

We already had existing contracts with IBM and Microsoft, so those made the most sense to verify. Both are good options for data storage. Since much of our existing Dbs are IBM related, we stuck with IBM cloud dbs, just so that the SQL code would port well. Additionally, we needed co-location of our data with the analytics platform we developed, and so that made IBM a better option.

One More great Product from IBM (Cloud database) with multiple options.

UI is easier to use and flexible. AWS EBS is very simple to use and do upgrades and monitor the upgrades easily. I also recommend IBM to implement these.
