We have used and built on Bluemix, both for testing and evaluation of code efficiency, as well as for cost evaluation and estimation of budgets.
We have also built final solutions in the IBM cloud for third parties, reducing costs (compared to similar services in AWS and Azure).,Easy customization and configuration of a virtual server.
Easy and fast delivery of generated service
Security, firewall and incredible capabilities to link to other IBM services and microservices,It is necessary to verify that the DNS has been correctly generated since if there are errors.
There is a type of deploy that does not allow to increase the details of the already generated.,10,We have been able to calculate that the cost of using Virtual Servers at IBM is much cheaper than other services.
The possibility of selling the service could provide extra income,As a startup if we had not used IBM Cloud, it would not have been possible for us to do as many tests and as easily as we did with IBM Cloud.
Actually the help provided by IBM to give a much lower price, is an impact on what you can do and try.,,IBM Blockchain Platform, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, CloudFoundryDavid J. SalazarA startup's take on IBM Cloud Virtual Servers2019-02-18T22:27:42.888ZThe use of IBM Cloud Virtual Servers was organization-wide; for development, testing, and production. We also ran multiple types of workloads, such as website hosting, email, our internal wiki, backups, and DNS. The problem it solved was the speed at which we could deploy additional servers, compared to filing a request with an IT department.,SSL Certificate issuance is virtually seamless.
The 4 distributions of Linux offered were great for the individual needs of groups within our company; for example if a particular product required Red Hat, it wasn't a problem that we had everything else running on Debian.
Fine grained controls such as the ability to select the speed of the Ethernet interface are exclusive to the IBM Cloud offering.,Ability to quickly clone an existing VM instance.
Many services, such as Cloud Internet Services, are marked up resold services from another provider, in this case, CloudFlare.
The number of services available through the Catalog can become overwhelming.,8,Decreased time to market
Improved ability to scale applications horizontally.
Decreased IT costs.,,Stripe, Apigee, Apache Cordova, Ubuntu Linux, CenturyLink Ethernet ServicesScott GalvinGreat virtual servers from a company experiencing growing pains2019-06-02T23:36:23.876ZIBM Cloud recently acquired SoftLayer, and so we became an IBM customer. We are using their virtual servers primarily for web servers and job queues.,Servers are deployed quickly after ordering them
They do a good job notifying us of pending maintenance
Servers are fast and reliable
The private network across their data centers is great,They are aggressively decommissioning services and data centers and forcing us to migrate relatively new servers to other data centers
They could respond more quickly to tickets/cases,7,Historically positive, as they've been more hands on which requires less of our time.
Recently negative, as they've been more hands off and forcing us to migrate products to IBM equivalents.,We do not use this service but I wish I had known about it. We are often told that their data centers are at capacity so we have to choose another data center. Having reserved space ahead of time would have helped us put the servers where we wanted them in the first place.,Rackspace Cloud Hosting,Apache Solr, PostgreSQL, CentOSJohn ReeveHow IBM was able to optimize our company's activity2019-05-09T12:23:48.089ZWe use virtual servers in the entire organization, and we use them to process vehicle tracking data and show results instantly on the customer portal. IBM servers have helped us deliver direct service to nearly 5,000 customers on a regular and consistent basis. This is in addition to accurate synchronization in operations,Absolutely superb availability.
Ease and efficiency of technical support.
A set of workable and immediate alternatives.,Integrate all server operations in one place, making it easier for the client to handle the server centrally (instead of switching between two sites).,10,Our customers were very impressed with the quality of our systems provided by the virtual servers, which positively affected the rate of increase of our customers, in addition to the stability of the systems.,Barracuda Load BalancerYasser Gohar Al BarakaWinning with IBM cloud!!2019-02-14T20:11:39.755ZThe IBM Cloud Virtual Servers was recommended to one of my clients and worked for them as a cheaper option in acquiring space without having to spend budgets on hardware acquisitions and maintenance. The focus was on reducing CAPEX which was achieved through the cloud offering.,They allow for capacity on demand therefore saving the clients money.
The flexibility of access to data that enables the client to access data anywhere anytime.
The user does not have to worry about bandwidth for data access which is something other providers charge for,The ease with which data is restored,10,The return on investment on the IBM Cloud Virtual Servers is remarkable since the client only pays for resources they are utilizing through the capacity on demand,AWS Cloud9 and Azure SQL Database,AWS Cloud9, Microsoft 365 BusinessKAWIRA NJERUGood use of VM capabilties2019-02-15T23:05:18.769ZExtensive use for IBM Cloud deployments for CPQ and CLM enterprise capabilities,scalability is very strong.
monitoring is good, but could be improved with more stats.

Some API services are very immature,8,Positive for migration to cloud,Verified UserIBM Cloud Virtual Servers are the way to go!2019-02-13T23:19:47.608ZWe use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers for IT department purposes serving the whole organization. Also we use VMs to offer to the market IaaS plus managed services.
For IT, the main reason we use it is to scale out different platforms and cost control.,Provisioning is fast
Management console is practical and mostly fulfills our needs,In general, expand system information regarding resources usage and trends,8,It has helped reduce 15% IT spend on servers workloads,IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers,IBM Cloud Bare Metal ServersVerified UserSoftLayer Servers2015-10-06T20:34:22.759ZOur organization uses SoftLayer for utilizing bare-metal and cloud servers. Our website, applications, and monitoring agents all run off of these servers that allow us to provide services and do business between our customers. With that, we do recommend our clients to use software to host their websites, applications, email, etc. as well for their needs.,VPN with private network/OOB access.
Site-to-Site IPSec VPN.
Bare metal server setup!,IP Subnetting on private side
Better monitoring on connections with their load balancers.
Slow resolution for hardware issues such as power failure, loose network connection, etc.,8,Better response time
Slow Server Deployment with no snap shot
