Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it to store images that users upload for selling items for estate sales auctions. It is being used by the whole organization. It allows me to store lots of images quickly and efficiently.

Pros and Cons

Good integration with Akamai CDN.
Fast.
Reliable.

Return on Investment

It has helped speed up the image processing time because the objects are in the same datacenter.

IBM Cloud Object Storage Built-in SQL Query

I have not used that feature as of yet.

IBM Cloud Object Storage Data Transfer

I really like this feature. I have tested it but haven't had a production or development use for it yet.

IBM Cloud Object Storage Flexible Storage Tiers

It makes it easy to store the images in a cost effective manner.

Alternatives Considered

I used to us AWS S3. I migrated to IBM Cloud Object Storage to save money and decrease the time to transfer objects to and from the server I am using in IBM Cloud.

IBM Cloud Portfolio

Akamai CDN. It makes it very easy to use the CDN.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it works well if you are using the IBM cloud because you can use the private endpoint to save money on bandwidth transfers. I use it to store images.

Excellent Cloud Object Storage
