Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

We are currently using IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers in a few specific departments where our data is critical and at the same time, we need the flexibility of scaling, security, and management. This is our second time getting in contract, and we never experienced any kind of latency. All the departments that are running on IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers are blazing fast and are doing extremely well in terms of efficiency and also the performance. We first tried this out when we needed a fully custom machine type and yet needed someone to help us manage the infrastructure. We accidentally came across it and decided that this would be the best choice.

Pros

  • Security
  • Scalability
  • Customization
  • High performance
  • Supports GPU
  • Supports VPC

Cons

  • Slower support (rarely, but yes)
  • Availability of data center in a particular location.
  • Pricing
  • Monitoring
  • Lot of notifications
  • Depends on the use case. We are very satisfied with the ROI we have.
  • Fast
  • Secure
  • Custom
  • Full support
  • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
AWS and Google are also providing very similar solutions but when we take a closer look at our needs and the pricing model each of the providers have, it is quite obvious for us to choose IBM.
Well suited for users having a sustained load for a long period or for users having very customized machine types with all the flexibility that cloud computing can provide.
