IBM Cloud File Storage

well suited: Enterprise File Sharing and Collaboration: Scenario: our organization has teams working on projects across different geographical locations, and they need a centralized and easily accessible file storage solution. IBM Cloud File Storage can facilitate seamless file sharing and collaboration among team members. less appropriate Highly Transactional Databases: Scenario: Your organization has highly transactional and I/O-intensive database workloads that require low-latency access to data. In such cases, block storage or specialized database services might be more appropriate than file storage.

Since I started working with IBM Cloud File Storage I have been able to monitor our data networking channels efficiently. This product ensures that there is reliable and affordable cost[s] for all data storage servers. During maintenance and customization processes, no data is lost from our storage disks since there is always standby backup platform that is reliable. This tool is suitable to all levels of data breakdown and easily allocates IOPS for all workloads.

IBM Cloud File Storage is always a good choice for enterprise companies, and this service is also perfect for companies with needs of high security standards and High avaliability. Is possible to use IBM Cloud File Storage with many standard softwares, because compatible with NFS and the possibility to create snapshots and move to another data center so is possible to create workflow respecting also GDPR. The Maximum storage size with the maximum IPS is 12 TB, is possible to expand to 24 TB that is still not enough for big data or data lake usages and, however would not be with the highest performance. For some usages and business the price of this service may be relatively high.

IBM Cloud File Storage is a great tool for integration with your applications, as it has excellent documentation of its api, thus facilitating the development of software that is integrated with it.IBM Cloud File Storage also has high availability, which is vital for our applications, and is easy to configure.

Data and file management has been one of the great challenges that we experience when implementing tasks and projects. IBM Cloud File Storage has enabled us to classify data and store files under safe environment for faster access. It is easy to deploy this software and integrate with other applications. Customization has enabled departments to strategize and allocate storage space to different workloads.

I have trusted the performance of this platform since I started working with it in our organization. The deployment and integration with our applications is reliable. It has always been stable in linking us with the cloud servers and storing our data under a secure environment. It has powerful security features that enable the user to install passwords on storage disks to avoid unauthorized access.

IBM Cloud [File Storage] is [a] very scalable solution and has allowed us to expand our storage capacity that has fully accommodated our needs to store large volumes of data with ease. It has allowed many users to access this platform with ease and retrieve data quickly. [The] file sharing process is very easy and fast across our departments.

The problems of workloads [are] now a thing of the past since this platform has transformed our processes to be simple and easy. When working with this platform you [are] always confident that data and applications are in safe and secure storage. We have managed to cater [to] our client's specific compliance requirement across the national borders because of IBM Cloud File Storage.

My overall experience with this platform has been great and the performance is always effective. The deployment and customer support team are helpful throughout. It enables us to plan continuously on data management and streamlining of workflow processes. Faster data transfer speed has saved us a lot of time and funds. We have developed a proper working plan based on cloud computing services that streamline the implementation of our daily programs.

This [IBM Cloud File Storage is] the most reliable product I have used in offering powerful cloud services. It has been fixed with the most advanced security features that guarantee the user's safety of data stored. The provision of encryption tools that configures data from end to end has enabled me to gain more confidence while working with this platform.

IBM Cloud [File] Storage is well suited for business use cases where you already have IBM infrastructure in place. The integration is seamless and will save you a lot of time for routing data. Overall it's a good storage service but we have experienced some outages.

If you are working with other components of IBM cloud infrastructure then this would help in integrating those components. If all the components belong to the same platform then the integration performs very well and IBM cloud infrastructure works very well. On top of that, you don't have to worry about data loss because of features such as rest encryption, volume duplication, and snapshots and replication.

IBM Cloud File Storage is typically well suited for hosting static content and for backups. It is less appropriate in scenarios of hosting some dynamic content like HTML and script files. It is also less suited for hosting documents or other private information.

[IBM Cloud File Storage] has allowed us to deploy more users at this stage. It is useful to store our main images and user data in a secure way. It has also increased our flexibility, etc. We have multiple servers across multiple availability regions, but IBM Cloud File Storage does not support mounting it across multiple availability zones. Therefore, [IBM Cloud File Storage] is not helpful in this scenario.

I suggest[ed to] my colleagues to prefer IBM Cloud File Storage as an online file storage service to store the files and NoSQL data over [the] cloud. It is providing massive storage capacity at an affordable cost with ultra fast data transfer speed. It can be deployed easily. The simply, great looking user interface provides an ultimate user experience. The centralization of file storage enables sharing of files. The backups are safe being encrypted and centrally available from all data centers.

If you need the lowest possible latency for unstructured data, NFS will always win out over something like block storage. IBM Cloud File Storage is the right solution for a use case needing high performant reads from a centralized solution being used by more than one VM. If your data is stored in IBM Cloud and your use case fits this, IBM Cloud File Storage is the right choice. If performance is not an issue, I would opt for block storage.

It is well suited if you are already aware of how to use cloud file storage systems, but if you are new to it, IBM is not a very beginner-friendly platform to get started. I had many troubles getting started. I felt other cloud providers had better documentation and tutorials to get started.

It's great as a base storage option and works well with containerized applications, which most people use nowadays.

If you're thinking about deploying a cloud scenario with a lot of users in which performance is a must and stability is very much required you can go with IBM Cloud File Storage. Personally I had some problems with a LUN that didn't connect even though I authorized it and in that sense support could get better.

[IBM Cloud File Storage is well suited for] NFS storage and file sharing. For object storage, their IBM Cloud Object Storage is much better price.

Well Suited:
A business wanting to take a lot of important/critical content and host it in the cloud for all areas of a business to collaborate and share files with. This could be from a small business for simple backups or enterprise for multiple departments. I highly recommend this solution for those needing to upload video content as we did.
