It has delivered outstanding and dependable reliable secure storage of billions of records across 100s of tables with dynamism across cloud and on premises storage (on premises preferred by some for more sensitive records)
I give it a 10 out of 10 for availability / reliability as it's never let any stakeholders down and IBM continues to optimize and improve the offering.
