Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers
We are supplementing our on-prem servers, with subscription, cloud based infrastructure. It provides opex, variable costing to help with dynamic server utilization.
- Easy to provision
- Stable
- Reasonable performance
- Too expensive
- Lack high-end compute
- Very Intel centric. Need to expand POWER systems offerings.
- Need PaaS offerings, i.e DB2, websphere, etc.
- We did not use it enough to impact bottom line
- If it were more cost effective, it could have provided ROI through more granular infrastructure
We also use Azure. It is more cost effective, and provides a wide selection of PaaS. It lacks POWER systems infrastructure.
