Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

We use Cloud Object Storage to store documents that are uploaded to our web application. We also use it for archiving internal files large and small, such as backups and media files. We primarily use it because there are no limitations on the amount of data we can store and because it has auto expiration features that will delete older files based on a date.

Pros

  • Stores both short term and long term files.
  • Auto scales based on our usage.
  • Auto deletes older files.

Cons

  • Searching for files by keyword could be better. Currently one can only filter by prefix.
  • More affordable storage than tape or hard drives.
  • More reliable storage than tape or hard drives.

Yes

Did implementation of IBM Cloud Object Storage go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy IBM Cloud Object Storage again?

Yes

IBM Cloud Object Storage is well suited for storing files that aren't accessed often. Its archiving features and pricing structure makes it an affordable solution for backing up files that we may or may not need later. And it's auto expiration feature enables you to automatically erase older data so it doesn't count against your monthly billing.
