Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage
IBM Cloud Object Storage is used as an extension to on-premise storage and for workloads that see unseen and rapid growth in size and require the timeless scalability, security, reliability, low latency over organization's VPN and cost efficiency that an on-prem solution cannot provide. This is used across the organization and departments and is the go-to-solution for us. The documentation provided is quite comprehensive and helped learn and implement IBM COS with ease.
Pros
- IBM Cloud Object Storage is fast, secure, reliable and provides quick support when required.
- Step by step documentation is easy to understand and implement for new users across the organization.
- It is highly customizable and available based on the need of the use-case.
Cons
- The planning for archival and scalability may require some improvement to reduce overall time.
- Ease of use comes with a lot of reading the documentation, which should come by the tool itself.
- It definitely has had positive ROI when it comes to cloud storage and compared to on-premise overall TCO.
We have evaluated AWS S3, Azure and GCP storage solutions. We have found IBM to be most effective as we have been using IBM Watson, DB2, Websphere and other IBM related products and it has only supplemented to our over all architecture solution and helped realise the TCO within 1 year as compared to on-prem storage solutions.
