Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

IBM Cloud [Object] Storage has been useful in testing concepts of cloud technology -- While there are many trainings available, these concepts do not become "real" until you get your hands around an actual environment. IBM Cloud [Object] Storage provides that safe secure testing environment where you can make your own exploration and experiments without fear of breaking anything important. It also allows you to convert to production when you get to that point of your maturity.

Pros

  • Friendly interface
  • Fast response
  • Consistent terminology

Cons

  • A guided "for dummies" for the non-technical people especially executives and managers
  • Quick starts (playbooks) with everything you need
  • Real-world applications (eg, WordPress, eCommerce apps, etc) that can be provisioned and customized easily
  • None identified yet -- need to start measuring
  • Learning costs have gone down
  • Confidence is developed among finishers
  • Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)
I've used Amazon EBS and the IBM Cloud [Object] Storage provides greater flexibility in pricing and provisioning --
You can use IBM Cloud [Object] Storage to test your existing staff or even incoming applicants on their cloud knowledge. You can ask for their certification (incoming) or use it as a capacity-building exercise for existing staff. On another aspect, you can use IBM Cloud [Object] Storage as a laboratory to test some of your in-house developed applications as they are migrated into cloud.
