IBM Cloud File Storage: go big going here.
Cloud storage is key to us, being a very flexible platform we can and certainly do deploy wherever we're closer to our users but the backups and data are priceless.
- Secure, stable storage
- High speed, high demand LUNs
- Ease of config and access
- Sometimes support is a little unhelpful.
- It'd be interesting to see year based models with ease of increment.
- There should be more help towards picking storage.
Currently the best cloud file option on the market
- Adjustable/extensible volume of stored data - You can really scale up.
- You pay for what you use and it is very transparent.
- Hard to master because of a lot of different functions.
- Documentation is not so helpful.
For example, I had to retrieve all the financial transactions from Jan 2018 to August 2018 that had some specific features, so that I could run my ML algorithms on it. It was pretty quick to retrieve that data even though it was stored in different locations.
Worth every penny!
- Easy to use management tools.
- Secure access to files.
- Price is steep for new users before trying it out.
- I'd like to see automatic exports to local drive storage.
Safe and reliable storage for your files
- Great price for storage.
- Faster loading.
- The navigation could be more user-friendly.
- Features like sharing outside cloud.
