IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers - VPC

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers (classic infrastructure)

We use IBM Cloud VPC to host our SP application for data collection, and to be the backend for a couple of web apps. It is being used across the whole organization. We are resolving the document collaboration and management system issues that we had, and this helps our company because it provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for meeting our company's needs for speed, cost, and reliability. IBM Cloud VPC is versatile enough that it meets needs across several different use cases.
  • Agile to scale.
  • Secure and protected.
  • Set-up of specific user rights.
  • VPC server instance change.
  • The scalability of the environment has had a positive impact.
  • It is very cost efficient.
IBM Cloud VPC is easier to use and a more integrated solution when compared to the other products. I could not complete the test on the other platforms due to the complexity and a lack of proper help in configuring the solution. For me, IBM was the best solution to proceed with, and also was cheaper.

Yes we have dropped few questions on IBM developer community and received their response in very short time that was very helpful.
