IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers - VPC

Modules Used

  • IBM Cloud Virtual Servers for VPC

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). We have virtual server running inside VPC. We access the VPC by doing SSH into the server using command line. Locally, we use windows machine but we use mobaxterm (other application) to use SSH. We prefer SSH over other windows options. Our use case is to host website inside the VPC.
  • SSH
  • No down time until now
  • Cost efficiency
  • Low tutorial on internet
  • Would be very helpful if docs include video demo as well.
  • More time to learn caused delay in more
  • Less down time
  • IBM Cloud Virtual Servers
We deploy virtual server in a VPC. This helped our web server to run always.

Do you think IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers again?

Yes

Our use case is small. We use only one region and zone. I think IBM cloud VPC does well in larger cloud infrastructure as well. In case if the user is only learning about cloud, I would not recommend IBM cloud. IBM cloud does have good documentation but generally someone who is new to cloud would like to have a video demo.
