Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

These servers are fully dedicated servers. it's providing us the maximum performance and security-related stuff. When I use it I felt that it gives us very high performance and I am fully satisfied with it. IBM is unique as it has the ability to bind IP addresses that can float across any data center region to allow for fault-tolerant applications bound by a static IP regardless of geographic location. This system has been [used] by [the] global R&D division with [collaborative] working. Our main reason for using Bare Metal is the speed and security it provides over a cloud-based distributed database. As a bare metal IBM Cloud customer, you have complete access to one of the industry's largest selections of standard features and services for bare-metal workloads in both small business and enterprise settings. We deployed the Kubernetes cluster & [are] managing it with the best security practices. Also, it provides direct root access over the hardware. We are using it across all the departments. At times when we have a requirement to add new servers to our environment, we may not have the required computational resources to host the servers or the procurement of new servers is taking time due to paperwork. in such cases, we utilize the IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers
  • The servers are very secure and IBM provides many tools to help [make] sure the servers stay that way.
  • I use IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers to support online gamers on some platforms (frontend and backend)
  • I use them for our production hosting.
  • Support is very expensive
  • Availability of data center in a particular location.
  • The UI is not user friendly
  • Security
  • It has a potential of great processing power
  • It has dynamic scaling
  • Operating system support
We utilize virtual servers for our web hosting and development environments but we use Bare Metal Servers for our production database server. It is great for a start-up looking to lease equipment that can scale as they grow. Well suited for training models for data science with a dedicated server. We don't have to worry about racking up hourly costs, which would be costlier than Bare Metal. We utilize IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers to run custom Ubuntu servers. It has a very high reliability
