IBM Cloud [File] Storage is a great way for businesses to manage their object storage requirements. When working with clients, I have found it to be both flexible and powerful and helps my clients with their asset storage needs. For example, it is excellent for storing large content that might need to be streamed by end-users, especially that which needs to be stored across multiple geographies. The customizable metadata really helps with analytics.

IBM Cloud File Storage is a very useful service when you need to have shared storage between multiple instances and/or services. In our specific case, the services behind the load balancer could all read write and edit files on the storage. Moreover, the services could be added and deleted and still access the storage. IBM Cloud File Storage is the perfect product to resolve this problem, because it works well and considering that is NFS compatible is also easy to integrate also using common libraries.

We use IBM Cloud File Storage integrated with Watson Assistant, which is how we managed to make documents available to users of cognitive chats. In addition, we have a tool, Chat Tools, where documents are generated so that the curator can analyze user interactions in conversations with the Bot, and when stored in IBM Cloud File Storage, it is possible to have quick access, in addition to being able to match with your peers for continuous improvement of integrations with Watson Assistant.

I currently use the IBM Cloud File Storage and have been using it since 2013 when I was working as an Administrative Assistant. I love that it is free and not costly like other file storage systems I have tried in the past. It also allows me 25GB of storage and I still have a lot of use left in it as that is a lot of storage to fill up. So, it is the perfect amount for me. It also uploads my data extremely fast, which is amazing and saves me so much time. So far, it has been very secure with my files, and I have had no issues. We work with highly sensitive information about companies, and I am glad the files are secure. I highly recommend it to anyone!

IBM Cloud File Storage capacity available for our multiple marketing data and other sales content is enough, and the data access from any place through Cloud services is quite simple. Planning of storage disk and the security offered for all data managed and transferred through IBM Cloud File Storage is effective and very easy to connect to other third-party tools.

We are already using the IBM on-premises storage solution for our critical applications. We had the requirement of storing temporary cache files for the applications on the cloud. Since IBM Cloud [File] Storage can be easily integrated with our existing storage and infrastructure, it helped us to save time for deployment and configuration.

The IBM File Storage infrastructure is used in a POC that we are currently performing. It requires a high speed, high availability, and scalable storage infrastructure. IBM Cloud File does exactly that. It has a great balance of performance versus cost, thus being a great contender for a POC like ours.
