IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers - VPC

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

We use IBM Cloud [Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)] as a vehicle to get Virtualized Power System Access, and direct services like cognitive watson, and surge virtual computing for application development. We use this as a way to develop incubative initiatives in a separate cloud.

Pros

  • PowerSystems Virtualization
  • VPC Based Computing - Windows & Linux Infrastructure
  • IBM Watson Cognitive Services

Cons

  • Availability - several outages in the past year, need to increase reliability
  • New product offerings - continually add innovative
  • License portability with microsoft.. getting MVLP agreements onboard
  • Positive - the ability to provision infrastructure just in time, and shutdown with out commitment
  • Positive - the ability to quickly deploy cognitive computing models
  • Positive - Infrastructure friendly interfaces, balances functions (developer vs infrastructure)
  • IBM Watson Machine Learning
It gives us a higher velocity turning up services versus trying to directly develop and implement open source solutions
[IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)] is suited toward incubative development where you have a cross between traditional infrastructure & native services that benefit with blending. There is an easy ramp up for deploying services vs aws
