Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage

We used IBM Cloud Object Storage to store all of the data from the actual production, including videos, images, and various types of sensing data from equipment in the actual factory in Thailand.We deployed over 100 cameras and sensors in the factory, storing the data in IBM Cloud Object Storage via the internet, and allowing the results to be retrieved and accessed from anywhere in the world.The biggest challenge is how to create a scalable system at a reasonable cost, since the data volume will be small in the initial stage and we know that the data volume will continue to increase every month. in the end, the data volume was about 150TB, but the cost did not hit our business operations.

Pros

  • cost performance
  • simple and easy to use
  • secure as usual

Cons

  • It would be useful if the data hierarchy could be made a little deeper.
  • performance of data deletion
  • undo or cancelation for data deletion
  • It would be useful if the directory structure was more complex.
  • A tool that makes it easy to see the contents of your data
As I answered in the previous question, I value the following:
1. Pricing structure
2. Ease of use
3. No extra services required
At the very least, I feel that it has given us the possibility to build a scalable system that would not have been possible on-premise. We were able to keep costs low in the initial stages, such as POC, and even if we continue to use it and the data becomes huge, we no longer have to worry about purchasing storage equipment, the space required for it, and the facilities required for it.
at this moment, IBM Cloud Object Storage is the best cost-performance service

Yes

As far as I can tell, it has better cost performance than any other cloud.This is a particularly promising service candidate for actual data accumulation, which requires the continuous retention of large amounts of data. Another attractive feature is that it can be used without using other services to guarantee security and performance.
