The value of the IBM Block Storage for Aputek
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Block Storage
We use block storage throughout our infrastructure to reliably ensure data sharing between the various nodes of our cluster as well as the containers that run within it. That allows us to dynamically scale services that will share common data with the security that they will have of the data they need in real time.
In our experience using the service, even with auto snapshots we have not had the need to make use of that since our downtime has been almost equal to 0% (moreover, I do not remember if there was ever a problem and for us that is critical)

Pros
- Correct efficiency for the use of ISCSI
- Perform hot backups efficiently
- Manages a variable IOPS ratio for various needs
Cons
- The documentation must be clearer and updated, thinking about each distribution that they offer in the cloud
- Downtime when IOPS are raised can be less
- The configuration can be more automated from the same control panel and not have to take it so much to the CLI
- Variable IOPS
- Security
- Reliability
- Strong Technology
- Great Support
- We just think in fill data, not in the storage engine, that is a big plus
- No need to worry in additional configuration for new nodes
- Just fits all the standards
The biggest difference that I have been able to find from other services external to IBM has been the domain, experience and application of the technology at the datacenter scale that allows [us] to be quite sure that the data will be in good collection. But I insist that the most important value I have been able to find is the variable and high IOPS setting, which virtually allows you to handle large volumes, that is, big data without major problems and we walk that way.
