Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage
I am using IBM Cloud Object Storage to support research in machine learning in IBM Watson Studio. I intend to guide administrative decisions regarding curriculum based on student outcomes data that is too large to process manually. Machine learning and other algorithmic applications are easier to work with across multiple sites when housed in the cloud.
- Integration with IBM's computing services is seamless.
- Access from any location and any workstation configuration.
- Authentication tokens process learning curve for new users is high.
- Novel terms for things that aren't immediately understandable for older CS users. (e.g. buckets)
- As a small researcher, I've not exceeded the 'free' tier in my machine learning projects, so ROI is infinite.
