Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In the university we do not have organizational subscription to IBM Cloud Object Storage. Instead, we subscribe to it individually and it is paid by research funds. Thus, each researcher can customize their object storage based on their need.

My research simulates the parts of the brain and as a whole those parts act like a brain. Each simulated part is defined as an object on the cloud service and works together.

IBM's Cloud Object Storage allows me to use powerful devices working simultaneously to achieve my simulation goals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Resilient storage.
Powerful infrastructure.
Customizable service.
Scalable infrastructure based on my needs.
Cluster working scheme on various locations.
Quick responding support desk.

Cons

Confusing user interface for beginners.
Inadequate tutorials on the web related to IBM COS.

Return on Investment

I spent money from my research funding, therefore I will not earn any money. But I will contribute unique outputs to academia.

Alternatives Considered

I have not tried others. All my senior colleagues recommend IBM's service.

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM COS was recommended to me by my colleague from the university when I was in need of a cluster of computers. Until now it has worked perfectly, and I am glad to know about COS. I can securely store my research data while I process them with the power of machines brought together by cloud infrastructure. Also, its monitoring dashboard is really fruitful. I can follow and define where there is a bottleneck on my code. Thus, I can optimize my app based on these logs.

I recommend it to my colleagues who need powerful and robust computing infrastructure. Apart from computational power, it serves well as a backup point.
