IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers - VPC

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

The IBM VPC was used to increase render farm capacity during peak production times. Cost and data security were the most important features we evaluated, especially compared to other players like Amazon AWS and Google Cloud.

Pros

  • Price
  • Latency
  • Features

Cons

  • User interface
  • Documentation
  • Flexibility
  • Competitive pricing
Offers a good price compared to Google Compute Engine, but we think deploying machines on Google to be a bit simpler due to the interface.
IBM VPC is a good alternative to Amazon AWS and Google Cloud due to the competitive pricing. However, we've found the lack of some security features (for example, firewall on the VPC Classic) to be a security problem for most users.
